Reverse Engineering Progress Update One Got started with converting the three-dimensional object into a two-dimensional one with measurements. I wanted to start with the simplest part so that I could get some momentum built. I was able to measure most things but their definitely was an element of best guesses and trial and error comparing the object to what I saw on screen. Like 0.5 fillets for example, I wasn't able to measure them but I think I got close. Then the momentum kicked in as expected and I forgot more regular documentation but here's some mini milestones I documented. The biggest issue I had was the internal bottom diameter of the filter wasn't possible to measure. So I held the digital caliper above it, tried my best to look square on and estimate it. Once I started to boolean difference out the windows for the filter I saw the bottom was too narrow. Using some of the references from the new geometry I was able to get a more accurate diameter, or at least one

For our upcoming project where we must recreate a physical object, accurate to .01 mm, in Rhino we had to select three potential objects to attempt this feat. Working with electronics seems like an absolutely nightmare so I wanted to avoid them at all costs but it's 2022 and I'm a nerd so pretty much everything I own is electronic. Honestly, finding a mechanical object was started to feel harder then the project itself would be but I found some. They have a theme. French Press It might sound simple at first but I think there's plenty of complexities here to figure out. If a single object isn't complex enough I could maybe do the whole set as a series. Clever Dripper Not a lot of parts but a lot of detailed geometry. Aeropress Simple, elegant and makes an excellent cup of coffee. Selection I think the best item to select would be the French press, it's got several parts and although some are fairly simple the double filters will be fairly intricate to reproduce wit
