Week 7 Group 4 Blog

This week we finalized what material we are going to use for the base as well as the separating rings. Now, we finally have all the materials including the straight lines used to design the curves of the tower, the separating circles, and the necessary foundation. For the top of the tower, we though we would use some really light material that we would 3D print. The rings are made of acrylic plastic and have a thickness of 7/32 inch, while the base is built like we imagined and has a 1/2 inch thickness and is made of clear cast acrylic plastic as well.
