Rhino 3D modelling



1:1 scale drawing - able to trace round the outline in rhino.



After a considerable amount of time and help, the model was completed. The spout joins to the base unit cleanly and the lip at the rear is just the right size to get a comfortable grip.




The discs that house the different sized bottles can all slot into the hole in the model. The grooves ensure the disc remains stationary when screwing and unscrewing the bottle.



These discs will be made using the Rapid Prototyping machine - advantages include the relatively low cost for small items, can make an object as many times as you want using a specific rhino file, its ability to make decent threads.
