I wanted to make a coke can succulent vase because I knew it would be a challenge to made a rounded cylindrical object with an extruding logo.
It was very challenging to make a shape that would round the bottom edge of the can to make it seem like an actual can, and it took many class periods to perfect. I ended up using a ring shape that looked like a doughnut and legnthened it out far enough where I could get a rounded edge on the bottom. I then turned it into a cut out shape and line it up perfectly with the can. I also created a small pop top which will print on the side. Theres a hole in the top of the can which can fit a pop top.
And on the pop top, theres a rod that comes out of the top which will be able to fit into the hole, sense the hole is jut slightly bigger. In the images I put in my slide show of cura, you can see that theres some red under the coke logo, when designing the can, I ran out of time before I could find a way to be able to completely attatch the logo without having a 90 degree extruding part. What I could potentially do in the future is to try to find a way to round the actual coke logo, or take a shape out of to make the edge not 90 degrees.
I’m glad I used tinkercad for the coke can. It provided a good way to be able to create my can. The sketch tool allowed me to model the logo just by drawing it, and it was very easy to use. I also like that I can take shapes out of eveyrhting in order to create new shapes. I also got to take a nice shape out of the top in order to fill in the dirt, it sort of looked like an upsidedown ice cream cone. Additionally, I found perfect dimensions for the coke can in order for it to be accurate. My favorite part of this was desiging the logo, because it was a fun challenge getting as close to the actual design as possible. I enjoyed doing this project and hope to print it soon.
