A
rather eventful day where, a lot of progress was made. Not only did I
find a very appropriately sized sphere of glass, I also fine tuned
and fixed a lot of the smaller details. Essentially I found out that
the handle and everything else had to be remade. Ironically enough
there is a very real problem with the original design. It’s not
meant to be held a normal human hand. There is no room for the
fingers and the trigger digs into the middle finger. Which means I
had to exaggerate the size of certain pieces. Though that being said,
the biggest hurdle was to make the cup for the sphere.
My
first idea was simple and made a lot of sense. By covering the ball
in masking tape and plastic wrap. With this method I can draw on the
lines I have to cut. It’s easy and very simple to do. Yet screwing up I did indeed. I just had to compensate for the foam being ten time
thinker than paper. Never the less I did eventually succeed. The
process once the shape is cut out is simple. Heat up the foam, press
it up against the sphere and then add glue to each. After the
adhesive has been applied, just squeeze the ends shut with duct tape.
At some point in the near future I will receive some transparent
balls to put at the back.
