3D Printing

 

For the assignment, I used Fusion 360 to model the knight chess piece from a 2D artwork.

First, I used GIMP to crop the picture to make the image easier to work with in Fusion.

In Fusion 360

First I created a simple round base for the knight.

 

Using the cropped image as a canvas, I was able to use Point Fit Splines to roughly recreate the shape of the knight.

After extruding the shape and using the Chamfer tool, it looks like this!

After removing the canvas:

Unfortunately, I forgot to record the printing process...

But this is the final outcome after cleanup!
