You will be given an object from the Math for Machine Technology textbook. Using provided Isometric paper you are to sketch or draw the object at full scale.  You will be given three dimensions: length, width, height of the overall object (Sometime diameters).  You are to determine the other dimensions as you wish such that the object remains proportional. 

Add all dimensions to your drawing exactly as shown in the book image.  Dimension lines are thinner than object lines.  You can hand sketch the drawing VERY NEATLY or you can use your drafting tools. Have the drawing and dimensions approved before proceeding.  Be prepared to make your drawing several times. Do not add a border, however, include the standard Title block somewhere on the drawing.

Design the object in any 3D design program and 3D print the object.  Avoid printing a solid object so as to save printer filament.  Print in low resolution.
