![]() I had an exported picture of the rib which I imported into Inkscape so I could trace over it in there. ![]() Fortunately though the slots and other straight lines do export, so I just fill in the gaps using Inkscape, being sure to keep the slots exactly the same size and in exactly the same relation to each other. Unfortunately, splines in Fusion (which I used to generate the shape of the rib) can’t be imported to Inkscape. I have to export the rib and bulkhead sketches generated by the last four steps as DXF files, then import those into Inkscape for layout. I’ll warn you though, I’m still learning Fusion, and the workflow for getting that design into the forge isn’t really optimal. Fusion360’s parametric nature is very useful for this sort of thing. Also note how I incorporated the laser kerf into the slot width calculation. The design contains a parameter (modify -> Change Parameters) named “material_thickness” which will adjust the slots for a different source material width. It looks like there’s an option to download a version for Fusion360 (upper right corner), which hopefully will let you load it and look around. Next challenge, leave an opening in the side for a door. You could take those svg files and remove the interior circles from the bulkheads so they become shelves for passengers. That kind of variability in “eighth inch material” is super annoying.Ī hatchimals rocket sounds like a neat idea. I made a version for some supposedly eighth inch plywood I get at a local craft store, but unfortunately that was about 0.1175 in width, not really near proofgrade dimensions at all. That version is slotted for 0.15 material, and I get a decent friction fit with cardboard, but yes eighth inch material would be kind of loose fitting. Presently the Rocketship is permanently installed next to the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, at the Lowry Air Force Base in Colorado.It looks great as a lamp. It remained standing in San Francisco for 14 months. Later in 2010 the Rocket was moved and installed as a temporary art exhibit at Pier 14 in San Francisco. In 2010 it was moved and featured at a Yuri's Night celebration at NASA Ames Research Center, as well as a second appearance at the Bay Area Maker Faire. The Rocket was originally created as an art installation for the 2009 Burning Man Festival in Black Rock Desert, Nevada. A San Francisco newspaper said it "offers a retro-futuristic, highly-stylized vision of space travel". The creators described the art as "a future-rustic vision of yesterday’s tomorrow". Creating the rocket required the work of 85 artists, engineers, fabricators, scientists and computer engineers. The interior includes artistic details such as captured "alien specimens" and a zero gravity bed. The interior is divided into the Engine Room & Life-Sciences Bio Lab, Crew Quarters & Navigation, and the upper Flight Deck and pilot chair. The ship was built with 3 walkable decks. The exhibit stands 40 feet tall and weighs 13,000 pounds. ![]() It was created by Bay Area artists Nathaniel Taylor, Sean Orlando, and David Shulman.
