The final home stretch. Okay so last time on Glee, I changed my sketch to a chair fixer thingy, that would make this wonderful chair I grew up with stop wobbling. After submitting, my wonderfully amazing and smart teacher recommended making it a cup like stucture rather than a cube so that I didn’t have to duct tape it to the leg, which is smart.
This is my final design, she’s cute. In my perspective, it looks big enough, but I soon found thats she’s actually kinda small.
So then, I did the mesh mixing, like we’re supposed to. It took every fiber in my body to not add that bunny onto it, but I dont think my mom would like a bunny head chair coaster for Christmas, so I’ll stick to the cool chair thingy I made.
Finally, I “sliced” it, which doesn’t make much sense to me cause its not like it cut into pieces, and i didnt get any screenshots of that cause I forgot and I already deleted all the .stl files and stuff off my computer and I dont wanna do it again so you’ll just have to believe me about it.
The print literally took 6 minutes. And she’s small. But it’s fine, I’m fine
So I am not at home, where this specific chair is for this project, which means I have to find something else to shove this under to prove it works, and that is gonna be a struggle. Not only is this thing really small, its also like completely square, and thats not super normal for chairs, especially in my apartment apparently.
I could not find a single chair or couch or anythng to fit this under, and thankfully i am going home the day this is due so I will be able to at least try it, but first here are some pictures of it under things I found in my room that it fits under.
Alright folks its the moment we’ve been waiting for. Here she is, under a chair!
Alright so here’s the thing. I made this for another chair in my house, but when I made the design the first time, I made the dimensions smaller than the chair leg becasue it was supposed to just be a plate and then I would glue it onto the chair. BUT then, I changed my design to the cup because I was told it would be a better idea and it totally is… if I had changed the dimensions. So it is way too small for the orignal chair, BUT I found not one, but TWO chairs to put this under.
Okay but for real, this second chair was wobbly before I put the thingy under, but it wasn’t while the thingy was there, and I call the a win.
So in conclusion, if I had to do this project again, or make this specific things again, I would use the same design but make it a little wider on all sides so it would fit the designated chair, as well as make the bottom thicker to ensure there would be no wobble.
Overall, I call this a success, at least one of the chairs in my house is no longer wobbly.
