rippler2

To practice using IronCAD, I recreated my midterm project, Jack the Rippler. The design is actually composed of pretty shapes, and the hardest part was aligning all the holes and all the shapes to each other, which I accomplished with the tri-ball. Another difficult part was making the pins that move up and down, which I created with rectangles and two right triangles. I rounded the bottom edges of the pins by selecting the edges and using the blend edge option. Then I selected all the shapes and made them into one shape by using the combine shapes option, which was pretty useful.

To make the rendering more readable, I covered all the parts with a wood texture and colored all the cut edges with dark red to mimic the burnt edges created by the laser cutter.
