Studio Practice in Object Design - Maddy Birns

  The Bespoke Object Progress Blog  April 9th, 2025 Unfortunately sort of a disappointing final update on my object. I am really unhappy with how this turned out. After removing the support material yesterday and curing the resin, I started sanding, and in that process, one side of the claw snapped in two. I was able to superglue it back together (but the superglue actually somehow ended up in my hair? I literally had to cut like two inches of hair because the actual bottle of superglue somehow wound up in my hair. I wish I was kidding). Then I opted for glossy black spray paint, which developed bubbles overnight as it dried, so now it doesn't really look very polished. I think I should have gone for matte paint. I noticed here that the removable wings don't fit into the slots securely either like they previously did in my FDM tests. Then, I went to pop in the iridescent acrylic, and just my luck, it doesn't fit. After 6 laser cut tests, it doesn't fit. So really all of...

We are at the resin printing stage in this process. I had one resin print done at the beginning of the week, but then I noticed something that I had to change so I had to send another file in, unfortunately. I made a small change right after my last FDM test before resin printing, which turned out to be a mistake. I increased the size of the little dots for my gallery to lock the acrylic into place, without accounting for the clearance that was needed for the size of the material. Of course, the intention was the have the butterfly clip completed and photographed before today, but due to the queue of people in front of me for resin printing, upon talking to Peter, the absolute earliest the print will be done (contingent on any failures that could occur) would be by mid-day on Monda...
