I created my object from a basic cube, which I created from the ‘create, box’ tool and then from an extrusion of a 2D sketch, which allowed me to control the aesthetic more.
I then used the pattern tool to create a circle out of the cubes.
However this was not as accurate as I would have hoped, so I created a cylinder first to use as my axis point. I then patterend the cubes around, minimizing the distance between them so that it overlapped slightly in an attractive design.
Next I deleted the cylinder and combined the circle of cubes.
I then played with the tools to see if I could create a more complex 3D object. I used the mirror tool and pattern tool to play around with the combined circular shape, which resulted in an exciting effect!
However, after converting the file and opening it with fusion, this object prooved to complicated to print and would need a lot of support so I stuck with the original circular shape.
I was very pleased with the final printed outcome, as it was quick to print and did not need support. It also seemed a great fit for a hoop earring design in the future!
