The broader idea was to have the lightning algorithmically generated so that each time someone makes the guitar and 3d prints it, the badge is slightly different. I came up with the design of a single semi-sphere, with 3 screw plates and wireframe lightning to connect them. I started drawing, playing around with different shapes and concepts. My two favourites were wireframe 3d prints, so thin they almost look like lightning from a plasma orb, and the composition of airplane badges, which have a certain authority to them. I looked at different inspiration from different 3d printed objects and other objects in general. I wanted my brand to be on the top of the guitar, but also represent the individuality of the user made guitar. Most guitars will have either a laser engraved or stuck on brand name (think Gibson or Fender at the top of the guitar). I came up with the idea of a 3d printed badge for the headstock of my guitar. It was on sunday night that I decided to scale back my project, and so I started brainstorming. I also looked at videos of how different locks work. I came across Alejandra Diaz De Leon, who came up with fantastic parametrically designed, 3d printed jewellery. I started by going through previous assignments, but also looking at the mechanics of locks and how I could change things up.
Maybe it was the stress or the workload, but I quickly caught a cold, which means I should probably work a little bit easier from here on. Unfortunately I also had the first week of university, which reduced my available time significantly. I decided during the lecture to try and design a 3d printed lock, I thought I could learn about 3d printing moving parts in the process. My ambitions for this weeks assignment were very high (possibly because I have the opinion that 3d printers are extremely good at printing objects tat arent useful).
