Models Part 1

Here are 3 models I laser cut in the FabLab. I used the stacked setting rather than interlocking and radial as I thought it might be easier and the other settings wouldn't actually let me do it unless I manipulate it to a way it wouldn't be my design anymore.
Now this looks pretty weird. This is due to me not having the assembly steps at the time and there are to many pieces I got a bit confused. If I changed the slice direction it would be a hell lot easier and actually look like what I want it to look like. Also this isn't the right size as I haven't worked the actual sizings out for the final design. I want it to fit a wrist in the end. 

I firstly also wanted to make this to see how much space I would have inside for the circuit. It isn't a lot so I will definitely need to make some adjustments. 

The top view is somewhat how I imagined it to be. 

This is the revolved river path. Again I got really confused where some parts go so it isn't even on each side. 



Here one of the easier ones. 


The 3D printed models are a lot smaller as I sized it down so I could print with another student. Here you can see the grooves and indents better than in the laser cut one. Also a lot easier to see what I should do to improve this object. I reckon they don't need to be that fat and for more comfort they will need to be filleted at the edges. Also I will need to find a way to get an even curve and a way to just slip it on the wrist.
