Shawn, Kang Hao, Xinhui
We went to meet Hanyang to share our new idea, 3D colouring and asked for his opinions. When we explained our idea to him, he brought up many difficulties we might face during the project, such as overhangs in 3D Prints, and ink sipping through the grooves of the 3D Prints. Hanyang brought up a project he had seen in the past, painting Easter eggs, and advised us to scale down instead to make our project more feasible. We then sat down and discuss what we could possibly paint on, and decided to scale down to a Rubik’s Cube instead.
After telling Hanyang about our Rubik’s cube idea, he suggested a few levels of difficulty we can approach the project:
Level 1: Manual flipping after colouring
Level 2: Automatic flipping after the colouring is done
Level 3: Change different markers during the colouring process to paint.
He also mentioned an interesting “side quest”, which was to paint the Rubik’s cube in an already scrambled state, which must be solvable as well, but that will be something we can think about after we finish the project.
