3D Printing and Scanning
This week I am going to make a 3D printed jewelry.

Struggle with Solidworks
I am fascinated by Ugo Cacciatori's design. His design is considered as
a combination of dark and elegance.
After two days of watching youtube videos and trying myself, I decide to
start with something simple.
The expection of making a complex geometry for my fisrt attemp is not realistic.
I played with Helix function and created a spiral structure on a sphere.

After the struggle with solidworks for a while, I have my pendant modelled.
I design the diameter of the spiral to be around 5mm, so it won't collapse when
printing.
3D Printing was fun

3D Printing Machine

I put on support system choosing "everywhere", and after one hour my pendant is printed.
The surface of the object is rough, it does not have a smooth surface.
It might has to do with the setting of machine, I choosed a medium resolution.

I file off the roughness on the surface and put a rope on the pendant.

3D Scanning

I have a collection of animals on my desk. So I want to scan them.
I try Sense scanner first, but my beaver is too small, the software always
gives me lost tracking message. Then I move on to something bigger.
