rough tides mechanical toy

thingiverse

this is a toy a i made earlier in the year it is mechanical and fun to play around with. this was made in auto-desk inventor so i could see the mechanics working. attached in the download is the STL file for each part, the IPT file for the finished piece and the STL for the final piece. this was very fun to make and hopefully u enjoy playing with it. parts required for full piece -4x dips -1x wall right -1x wall left -1x floor -1x wall back -1x roof -1x handle -1x boat back -1x boat back middle -1x boat front middle -1x boat front -1x waves (not required just for fun) How I Designed This how i designed this it all started as a school project that i put my own spin on and created this toy/simulation. Custom Section project ROUGH TIDES MECHANICAL TOY OVERVIEW & BACKGROUND- you will learn the basic skill of moving multiple parts at once using constraints in a CAG software. OBJECTIVES- students will learn: how to move multiple parts at once using constraints in CAG software, how to create parts from scratch while still using the same mechanism, how to research what is popular on the market to create a popular toy. AUDIENCE- the skill level would be the Scottish grade (SQA) of national 5 as a requirement however with some practice anyone can do it. SUBJECTS- relevant subjects would include graphics communication and maybe design manufacture. SKILLS LEARNED-this project allows pupils to experience something new in the graphics communications higher (SQA qualification) course this shall allow pupils to begin the year with something exciting. as a pupil who has sat the course myself it has come more as an experience to what i wish to do today. LESSON/ACTIVITY- to complete the project each pupil must has all there parts (picture shown below) to create the toy. they must also assemble and create a step by step guide to creating their toy. DURATION- this part of the course can take anything from 1 month to 4 therefore making it quite a bulky part of the course. PREPARATION- pupils show have know how to use a CAG software to national 5 level (SQA grade) to be able to sit the course however pupils in there 5th and 6th year have a chance to "crash" the course therefore meaning they don't need the grades required as long as the teacher allows it. RUBRIC AND ASSESSMENT- each pupil must have created a mechanical toy that is unique. if they succeed this the teacher marks it if over 50% thy are allowed to sit the final exam at the end of the year if not they fail the course.however some exceptions can be made if the teacher knows the pupil has the potential to do well in the subject. HANDOUTS AND ASSETS- n/a each necessary part for my design
