INSPIRATION
My inspiration of my design comes from the engines of aeroplanes. The shape and structure of engines are attractive. Aeroplanes engines are mainly made by hand because they are big and require specific measurements for every single planes. Scaling its shape down to a USB size has become my project inspiration but it cannot be made by hand. Instead, using 3D printing machine is a perfect fit for this kind.
Design sketches & Development
it can become necklace
Hanging on the key ring
My final concept of my design has then developed to look like this as shown in the picture. It had such development because the previous version require expensive costs. In order to reduce costs, I have changed the design of the top part into solid dome.
3D print and Mock ups
This mock up has been printed out by ABS plastic, the quality of the mock up is not very good, So I need to manually sanding the surface.
