3D PRINTED PHONE STAND AMPLIFIER

The artist, Frieda Toranzo Jaeger, has inspired this piece. She spoke of creating paintings that are at a 1:1 scale. Since the phone stand is constrained by the size of the phone, I decided to go in the opposite direction and ask the viewer to suspend disbelief. This starts with creating a mini avatar and giving them a car to drive in.

The back wall of the phone stand serves as a canvas. This space is inspired by the use of different materials in Frieda’s paintings. I used felt to create a sense of embroidery in the plastic.

DOUBLE SPRING LOADED CATAPULT

The structure of the housing is created by laser cutting a 3mm plywood and the sides are glued together (using wood glue) to ensure that the structure is sturdy.

The two springs inside are created using a wire bender. The launch pad of the ball has two handles on the side and is made of 6mm plywood to make sure that it is more sturdy and doesn’t break when being pulled down.

3D SCANNING AND PRINTING

My headphones are converted to a 3D model using photogrammetry and then 3D printed on a Prusa.

LASER CUT CAR

The car was designed in Adobe Illustrator and then laser cut and engraved on 3mm plywood. Wires are used as axels here for the car.
