When JoAnns was having it's clearance sale, prior to the shut down, I raided the place after the feeding frenzy was over. I picked up a lot of white fabric which is always good for quilts and along the way in the denuded craft area I found a set of Beadsmith plastic wire forming mandrels. I figured that I would use it for wire or bezels. The handle that fits into the base, shown in the lower right corner of the first picture, is a bit small for my hand so I decided to make a bigger, better, one that fits my hand. 
I opened up my CAD software and first drew the basic curves - a square for the inner and outer cube for the mandrels to fit on and then a circle for the handle. From there these curves because surfaces and from there I could make solid 3D objects by Extruding them to the correct heights. I then used the advanced command of Blend Curves to create a transition between the square base and the cylinder of the handle.  The last design task was to union them all together and export it to the Bambu Studio software so I could print it. 
I figured it make take 2 or 3 prints to tweak it but NOPE, the first print perfectly fit my hand and the base. I might modify the print to have flats so I can put in the vice and if I do that I would also increase the infill to 75% to give it a bit more strength but that's for another day.
My work here is done.  

The third and final project for the semester is to create a "container to hold something". That's not what the brief called it but that's what I am calling it. The brief was about reliquaries and since that does not sit well with me, I am calling it.

I decided to make an urn for Boots. I received her ashes in a cardboard box and it seems appropriate that she have an urn that I can place next to the Shop Elf's. 

The urn will have an angled hinged lid with a paw print that looks impressed which will be done using chasing & repousse. Then body will be etched with paw prints and her name and dates.  We had to start with 5 drawings/sketches and then make a prototype. I took on the challenge to make my prototype not in paper but as a 3D print!   I spent most of Friday rendering the design in Rhino and then printing it.  Next I worked up the art for the body so I can etch it - using a salt water bath.  Yesterday I started on the paw print. Today I will apply the resist to the metal for the body and with luck get it etched.
