Ghost Clip

prusaprinters

The project was to make a ghost-like shaped paper clip, working step by step with a partner to result in an exact match to our partner and the original. Mine turned out exactly like my partner but slightly different from the original. PREP];//////Draw a constraint box with the dotted lines, centered on the originCommand A and uncheck construction and then recheck TRIANGLESSeparate the width into 3 equal dotted line segments on the bottomMake a dotted line going down from the center of the previously established dotted line segmentsUse the dotted lines as guides for the solid lines that form an uncompleted triangleSmart dimension the distance between the endpoints of the linesSmart dimension the distance from the very bottom of the triangle to the originRepeat 2 more times CURVESSeparate the width into 4 equal dotted line segments on the topSmart dimension them down to the desired length Draw an 3 point arc splitting into a semicircle with the endpoints of the previously established dotted linesSmart dimension the radiusRepeat 3 more times EYES Draw a construction vertical line from the middle of two semi circlesDraw a construction horizontal line from the sides to the constraint box to the edge of the circleDraw circles and set the radius to the proper sizeSmart dimension all measurementsRepeat for opposite side SMILEYDraw the two sets of lines for the smile, diagonal and straight upSelect the mirror command and mirror it around the center lineUse the offset tool and cap the ends with arcDesign Choices:Initially we traced a reference ghost then measured the dimensions. After getting the dimensions as close as possible to the reference we hopped on the computer. As the ghosts changed we mixed around the dimensions. The final design had some different dimensions from what we originally put down, though the main dimensions for the reference geometry were the same as we originally put down. The way that the image prints isn’t going to be exact to the dimensions that were put in, so the reference ghosts were all a little bit different. This made making our ghosts the same to the original quite hard.
