Belial 

We gave our team the name «Belial» to highlight our mythical theme. We are a group of 6 from 1KDAB Vågen vgs. The name «Belial» is an old name for the devil, whom is a religious mythical creature. Our task was to make mechanical moving toys within an agreed theme and colour palette. We will use any material we want including a wooden box provided by the school. The box will serve as a base on which we build our toys. We must include and integrate at least one piece of 3D-printing. It may be a gear or button or something completely different. A mechanical toy is defined as a toy with moving parts, either moved by hand, a small engine or wind up. In our task, we will move the parts by hand using one or more axis and gears. Our theme I already established as mythical creatures and our targeted audience is anyone from 9-99 interested in the mythological creatures of mankind. The function of our toys is mainly decorative collectibles. 3D-printing is a form of modelling by computer and print using plastic. You use a modelling program like sculptris or tinkercad. A 3D-printer heats up plastic and prints your object layer by layer. None of us in the group had any experience with 3D-printing beforehand and all of us used either tincercad and\or sculptris. Now at the end of the project we all know the basics of sculpting and printing.

Emil: My automaton is a simplified griffin that I divided into layers, and cut using a lazer for good precicion and efficency. The colour I used from the color palette was red, and I paired it with wood with a slight white tint. The moving parts of the automaton is the head and the wings, which are being pulled by strings. For my atomaton i used 3D printing for the 2 nametags that are placed on the front and back. I tried out sculptris and tinkercad for this project, and although I prefer sculptris because of its organic feel and similarity to forming clay, I used tinkercad. The reason being, making a nametag is far easier in this program because of its easy access to geometric shapes and 3D text.
