Introduction: This project was a present for an old friend’s birthday. Both of us are massive Ghibli fans, and I thought that it’d be cute to create a little lamp and alarm clock combo, featuring the Wara Wara from The Boy and the Heron. Everything shown is designed by me. Building Process I made all…
Designer: Hojyo TakashiPaper: 2 sheets of 15cm Kami (and a little more for the bow)Finished: November 21, 2024It may sound ridiculous, but this model has been a sort of holy grail for me, in the sense that I’ve wasted a decent a long time just trying to find the folding instructions. I signed up for…
For my schools applied engineering team, we ran a fundraiser, selling 3d printed scannable Spotify keychains, which were quite popular online at the time. As you can see above, these keychains are all unique, which led to a quite time consuming process of 3d modeling each on individually. Me, and the other 3 team members…
Background:This is quite a quick post, since the process was pretty straightforward. This little flowerpot was a gift for my mom’s birthday, as Totoro is one of her favorite movies. I found the files online, printed them, and sanded and painted with acrylic. It took around a week, but it was definitely worth it to…
While on my vacation to China, I bought a 1/32 toy Type-R, my favorite car model. It was actually kind of funny to me, how I returned to my younger self, playing with toy cars that I would’ve enjoyed as a 5 year old. But oh well, who would judge me anyway. After returning to…
Background:This post will be pretty brief, since I didn’t take any photos of the building process for the plane, and also am too lazy to write much after spending a month at COSMOS. The plane is built out of foam, and my group and I designed it completely from scratch, choosing the fuselage shape, the…
Designer: Kota ImaiPaper: 12 inch kami paperFinished: June 14, 2024I recently visited Japan(I’m in China at the moment as of posting this), so I decided it’d be fitting to fold a sushi roll to commemorate the trip. This was a pretty easy model, from a 32*32 box pleat, but the result is super cool and…
For my English 10 Honors final assignment, we were tasked with building a food truck for a project. I had recently gotten a laser cutter attachment for my printer, and decided that there would be no better time than now to test it out. I put a decent amount of time into the project, but…
Designer: Gen HagiwaraPaper: 4.25 * 13 inch Origamido Paper Finished: April 28, 2024I made this little violin for my friend Ashlee’s 18th birthday. She’s majoring in music, so I thought that it’d be fitting. It’s a pretty simple fold, and I chose to use some fancy paper that I bought from little Tokyo, due to…
While the Principles of Engineering class is by no means structured or organized in any way, it is probably the class that I have the most fun in. With our VEX project, we never really had any restrictions, and were able to build anything we wanted. We chose to tackle the project of building a…
