For this model, I initially used traditional Japanese castles as inspiration, but ended up straying a bit far from that, adding my own ideas and concepts into the design. As for the color palete, I used sea-like colors, with the roof looking like it's covered in snow.
For the next step, we made a model in Rhino for how the coffee pot would be based on our sketches. Here is the top part, made by Talia: Here is the complete coffee pot model, after I made the bottom and changed the lid: The lid comes off so that we can store coffee beans inside, and the top part also comes off to create a second compartment—maybe to store a different kind of coffee beans or even sugar. After the model was complete, we disassembled all the individual parts and used the commands Explode and Rotate3D to flatten them. After this, we added tabs to the flattened surfaces and recolored the lines for the laser cutter to recognize which areas to cut completely or partially. After this, we printed off the final version with the laser cutter and assembled it.
