The images above show the scratches/cuts that the blade was able to create in the chocolate cast that I created. It was unable to break through it entirely however this still conveys the idea of persistence.

The video above is of my model breaking a cast chocolate mould. As you can see in the video I had to try various angles/orientations of the chocolate to get the blade to cut through it. This is something that I will consider in my final model/ video.

The video above shows how the saw blade will spin within the base of my object

Out of the two chocolate casts I tried to create only one was successful hence, I will attempt to make another one so that I can test that my mechanism works as well as use on in my final presentation/demonstration.

The images above show how my circuit fits into my 3d printed base and how my motor has been positioned so that the saw blade can reach the wax to break it.

I have also reprinted my 3d base so that the switch fits into the slot better.

The images above show my planning as to how I will connect the motor within my 3d printed base. By placing it on a platform I will be able to better control were my saw blade sits, thus allowing me to get the optimal amount of breaking/cracking within my wax to create a visually interesting effect.

The images above show my attempts at casting chocolate onto a ballon. These will be used as tests to see how well the wax will break. I will also use one of these casts in my presentation to demonstrate my model persisting to break something as I will be using my cast piece of wax in my video

The images above show my first attempts at creating the 3D part of my model. For some reason the scale of the slot I made for my switch was incorrect but everything else was as intended it to be. Therefore, to save myself time I will cast the switch in wax so that it stays within the slot .

Balloon cast attempt one - My first attempt at a balloon cast failed and the wax crumbled around the balloon. Although I didn’t document my second attempt it was successful.

The password to watch the video is dsdn141. The video above shows my various other attempts at the experiment for weeks 9/10. I had a number of issues. Some were due to the fact that the wax and the saw combined were too heavy for the motor to cope with, which resulting in it not being able to spin. I tried different saws and placing the wax onto the wooden base I had created differently. However, I didn’t succeed so I decided to let the aluminium saw spin on top of the motor and hold my cast piece of wax whilst the saw cut away at it. This can be seen in the video posted prior to this one.

The video above shows my experiments for weeks 9/10. I had some issues with my initial ideas of which I will discuss in a follow-up post.

The video above is of my aluminium saw/cog on the end of my motor cutting through foam. I tested this part in this way to see if it would break through the wax. To make it appear that the motor is persisting to break through the top piece of wax.

The images above show my progress on the week 9/10 experiment. I have created a wooden base that my motor can sit in. I have also cast candle wax into a dome-like shape using a hot clue mould to make the cast. I have also created two different cogs/saw blades. One out of aluminium and the other out of wood I will attempt to break the piece of cast wax with one of these ‘cogs’ attached to the end of the motor.

First wax cast test: unfortunately the first wax cast i attempted was too thin and crumbled as soon as i attempted to take it out of the mold. Therefore, I will create a was cast with thicker edges.
