 Creating a solution - this means :

You can follow a plan to make a product (or prototype) to a

good level of accuracy and neatness

Before you start to make anything, you need to think about what the product is going to look like. You
should never go to the workshop to make a product without an accurate drawing and list of materials
required.

You also need to consider :

● Tools required
● Specialist machines required
● Skills required
● Safety to be observed

TOP TIP : You are often better off, making something quite simple to a high quality, than a more complex
product badly. Of course, the product must function and meet the design specifications.

But, this stage of the design cycle should demonstrate a good level of technical skills, which is difficult
to evidence, if your product is too complicated, badly made or unfinished.

the sizes if needed
3. Laser cut the

6. Once you’re done painting, start
sticking the parts together with a

thick or thin.
7. Cut a hole in the center of the
clock, and place the hands of the

show the accurate time
8. Once you’re done,
start filing the edges

Accuracy, neatness and attention to detail, are essential if you intend to produce a high quality product. In the text box below, highlight what
precautions, procedures or checks you undertook, to ensure you ended up with a high quality product. Include photographs where
possible.

I made sure to use the glue gun neatly and accurately to ensure that the glue wasn’t too thick
to overlap. I also tried my best to paint with different colours and shades to make it more
dimensional.

These are pictures of my numbers. As you can see,

the numbers are not aligned, and some numbers
are further/more tilted than others.

The gradiency and painting of my clock went quite

smooth and well, but I could use more different colours
rather than sticking with one shade.

The parts of my clock were cut out well with the laser cutter.
Next time, I will try to place the parts properly and try to make
it exactly as I planned online.
I used a variety of colours to ensure that it looks dimensional
and colourful. This is so people would catch it more
eye-appealing.

The diameter of the clock is 35cm, the radius being somewhere around 16-17cm. The depth of the clock will be 3cm. The
numerals will each be around 3 cm long. The feathers will be around 5cm long.

 Learning Task 12 : Creating the solution : iv. explains changes made to the chosen design and plan when making the solution.
When you manufacture a product, there are often times when you need to modify or make small changes. This could be required because of
an error in the original design or a change which makes the manufacturing process a bit easier or faster. Maybe you couldn’t source an
appropriate part or component.

If you did make any changes (from your final design idea), highlight what changes you made in the text box below You may want to include
images CHANGES FROM MY PLANNED CLOCK AND MY
FINAL CLOCK
- My idea to add flowers and leaves to the clock failed.I had to
remove the flowers from my online design as I found it hard to
laser cut and paint. This was a complex design, so we had to
remove some parts from it.

- I had to change the font of the numbers as I was unable to

laser cut them. They were also different colours since I was
unable to paint stuck on numbers. I also couldn't adjust the size
and colour of the hands, since the colour and size of the hands
came with the clock mechanism.

- There was not as much decoration and shades of colours like

my original design. I was not skilled at painting different
highlights so most of the pieces are the same shade. There
was also not much gradiency as painting gradients with acrylic
are not easy. I also couldn’t use the exact colours I used,
