3DD: Protection Results

This is a before (birds eye view) and after of my Spaghetti structure. The second photo demonstrates the destructive results of the basketball's impact.

You can see that from the outside the structure seemed to have held it's shape rather well. However, the protection mainly held the spaghetti in place, but did not manage to prevent the pieces braking. In order to improve the design I would have to create a stronger shield that surrounds the entire structure.

3DD: Protection

Adding to the Spaghetti project, I used paper in an effort to protect the fragile structure from the impact of a basketball bouncing upon it. I rapped it around the structure and stuffed it within the frame.

3DD: Spaghetti Structure Sketch

This is a quick sketch of the Spaghetti structure I made, featured in the previous post.

3DD: Spaghetti Structure

This project involved using the idea generation exercise to produce a number of designs for a structure made from 20 pieces of spaghetti and a glue gun, which could hold 3 plastic balls. The sketches seen here are my initial ideas of which the 5th one I base my final structure on. The structure managed to hold each ball, however, would not stay upright for long without blue tac. I also wish I used more spaghetti to strengthen it's aesthetic value.
