Motion Monday 💥 | Same Impact, Different Collapse 🧱

Hello Everyone, Welcome back to Motion Monday 👋 This week’s motion study explores what happens when a cannon ball strikes two brick walls under the same launch conditions. The only change? Brick size. • One wall was built using smaller bricks • The other used larger bricks The response was completely different: • Smaller bricks collapsed in a much more chaotic way — scattering, rotating, and breaking apart in multiple directions. • Larger bricks mostly toppled in bigger sections, showing a

Then I brought it to life using 3D printing — turning a digital concept into a real, tangible product That moment when a design leaves the screen and becomes reality? Unmatched.

Bugs Bunny Design and 3D Printing

Hello everyone, I had previously created a Bugs Bunny design in xShape for Easter. I started printing this model using a 3D printer. Since the model is over 60 cm tall, I decided to break it down into parts and used SOLIDWORKS for this process. Using the 3D Sketch feature in SOLIDWORKS, I created split lines on the non-planar organic surfaces to divide the model into parts. I’m currently working on making the joint areas movable. I’ll share the final version of the project soon.

Motion Monday: Stacking Instability | The Physics of Jenga

Hello Everyone, Welcome back to Motion Monday 👋 Sorry I’m a bit late… that Jenga game took longer than expected. Jenga is a great example of how stability isn’t just about balance—it’s about geometry and load paths. With every block removed, the structure quietly shifts toward instability. In this setup, the focus is on how removing blocks changes the center of mass of the tower. When blocks are taken from one side, the mass distribution becomes uneven, creating a tipping moment about the base.
