This project has tested my engineering and design skills on so many different levels. For starters, this is the largest physical sculpture I have made to date. I also challenged myself to go beyond 3D printing, incorporating laser cut acrylic and wood, some AI generated art, as well as a new (to me) epoxy coating that gives 3d prints a smooth, finished appearance.
• Making a “Phone Bad” Moving Sculpture
There are 5 months of design work, thousands of hours of 3d printing, and an undisclosed amount of money sunk into this project (it’s Canadian dollars, so it doesn’t count, right?)
With 2 fully functional conveyor belts, a 2 degree of freedom robot arm, 2 microcontrollers, some blood, some sweat, and I hate to admit it, a couple of tears, I am proud to present to you what I am officially calling ‘The Truth Conveyor’
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I have enjoyed making it. That’s a lie, it was a grind. But worth it.
