I have this week designed, created and employed a food drawing machine, my wild card week is related to the following objectives:
I want to create a design, that is able to:
Departing from a Wish to Make Bread Art
Initial Sketching
Early 2D Visualisation
Early 3D Visualisation
Creating Gears Using Gear Generator
Importing Gears to Inkscape
Sketching First Batch of Parts
Drawing Slices in Incscape
Lasercutting Slices for the Parts
Glueing Slices to Parts
Testing Gears
Trying to reduce Friction by Adding Tape
Mounting Screws as Pivot Points
Creating the Powder Container
Testing angle for sucker flow
Testing Tin Foil Coating
Testing required angle for sucker flow
Testing Flow from Sucker Container
Testing Ability to Draw with Sucker Drawing
Testing Flow from Sucker Container
Relationship between Horizontal & Vertical Movement
Sketching a Z-stage Solution
Sketching Parts for the Z-stage
Z-stage Wedge
Sanded Inside Wedge to Reduce Friction
Assembling Z-stage
Testing Z-stage Functionality
Inside view of Z-stage Functionality
Layout Before Assembling
First Assembling
Encountering Too much friction in Z-axis
Sucker Printing
More Sucker Printing
First Attempt in Spirographing with Sucker
Spirographing with more Sucker
Spirographing with even more Sucker
Spirographing with a Thinner Layer of Sucker
My design should be seen as an early mockup to test the concept. I were to continue my work with the Breaddrawer in layers of cardboard/wood/acrylic - I would make a 3D drawing in software like Fusion 360 and the slice it using the "Slicer"-addon.
This lead to a disclaimer about my designfiles listed below - they served their purpose for the iterative ideation towards a mockup they are thus not intended to be used for reproduction.
