Assignment 4. Final (Modelling | Assembly)

For assignment 4 we were required to produce a 3D model consisting of a minimum of 2 separate parts. It says in the brief "..it could be a 3D puzzle of a mechanism with rotating or moving parts.." so a lot of us misinterpreted this by creating 3D models with moving parts to it. However I think the brief was very unclear because in the next tutorial we were told to make some sort of puzzle 3D model as it was preferable. I have created two designs for this assignment as there seems to be different things said about what we are to design/ make.

As seen in the image above I had some difficulties with the joints, there seems to be some missing lines I think this is due to when I filtered out the small lines to allow for the joint (s-shape) to sit between the edges. I have tried a few things to fix it but I'll continue to experiment and see if I can fix it.
