In this video we are going to look into how to create this pendant for the resin
filling are you ready let's get started!
We are going to start with the top view. Let's use the command. It's conic corner
rectangle and we want to snapping into the zero, hit Center and hit zero on
it, and decided how big of your pendants going to be. Mine is roughly
going to be this size, and I'm gonna bring down the mouse, so I can have like
cushion looking things. Alright so we're gonna do all the design within this area.
We're going to use the command here is "flat spiral" and
we are going to pick up this Center, and coming in and if that is too much turn
or not enough. You can actually chang the turn over here. Let's say something
dramatic like 10, so you can have something like this. I want something
really minimal so that me do you 1.5, and let me do something like this. Okay, with
this spiral, let me rotate it a little bit, I gonna create the thickness for
it, so simply, I'm going to use the commands called "offset". Its living under
the curve command, and you have this and go into offset for 1.5 millimeter, so now
we have something like this. I need to have this become metal, so this need to
be connected. The command we are going to use is under the curve, and we
have "blend" tool. When we have a bland curve, we have those adjustment that you
can go ahead and try the best for your option. So now I have a spiral look like
this. Let's go ahead to join them. I'm going to use that and use the rotate
tool, make sure copy=yes, and let's copy this to the other side. Tilted it
into the angle that you like, for example, something like
this, and we're going to use the "blend" command one more time to blend from
this end to that end, one more time from this end that end. Let's go ahead to
join all of them. This is one of the design right there. You can make it
bigger or smaller or tilt it to whatever that gonna fit into your design.
Once I have that, I would like to have this to have a wall, so I'm going to offset
one more time on this one, and 1.5 will be fine for my design. I'm going to
enlarge my design actually like it bleed to the outside frame something like
this, and let's go ahead to draw a big circle maybe something like this.
Another one over here maybe a little bit bigger.
Now I have those, I'm gonna use the same command "offset" and let me
offset over here, and offset over here, alright maybe I'm going to move those
two closer, so they have a better contact. All we need to do now is pick up
everything, and we're gonna use the "trim" command to trim everything in the middle.
So we can have all the metal is continuing in one single piece. Sometimes
if you trim the wrong one, just CTRL+Z, it will go back to one
step and maybe here. okay so it looks nice right there. As my design has a lot
of point right there. It's not going to be good for casting. Any of the design
like that. I always like to round the corner even
something small like 0.1 mm here it's not gonna change the
design that much, but it was round off those corner and reduced the casting
issue that investment stay into those round corners. Let's go ahead to
round all of them, and you can make them a lot more rounded, if you want to. Let's
go ahead to pick up the outside. Sometimes it's confusing looking all
this patterns right there, so let's go ahead to pick up the outside, and we want
to go to the "solid- extrude planar curve", we want to get it straight. Let me
make it straight up for 4 millimeter. And that will be the thickness. I also
wanted to have outline is rounded. so I want to make the radius, let's say
0.3 millimeter on this radius both on the top and the bottom
now let's pick up the rest of the curves, and we are going to move it up for 2.
Let's go ahead to "extrude planar curve- straight" and over the boundary on
the first extrusion. All we need to do is "Boolean Difference" then we will get our
design here, and that is the area you are going to filling the different color of
a resin. The rest of the design will be choosing your preference bail, depends on
what type of the cord or the chain that you are using. I have this color
block here just represent the color for the resin. For your model on the
3D printing, you don't need to have those color block. I hope you enjoy this
video. Please leave a comment, let me know if you like it or if you have other
things you like to learn. I'll try my best to make a video to share. Thank you
for watching. I'll see you next.
