<p>Mandelbrot sets and Julia sets are typically generated by the equation f(n-1) = x(n)^2 + c. For the Mandelbrot set, your initial value is zero and you pick a complex number for the constant and iterate. For the Julia set, you choose both an initial value and a complex constant to iterate over. The sets that are generated are appealing and intricate with many different designs to visualize and appreciate [1]. Mathematica makes generating these sets very easy with commands like MandelbrotSetPlot and JuliaSetPlot.</p>
<p>Something worth explaining is the coloring of the 2D graph. As you can see in my Mathematica image above, there is a chart to the right of the 2D JuliaSetPlot. What this is showing us is the number of iterations it took before we could be sure that each of these points was not in the Julia set. The higher the iteration count (the black/white areas), the more iterations were needed, if we even iterated enough, to know that it wasn&apos;t in the set. The lower the iteration count (the blue/purple areas), the sooner it was clear that these points were in the set. You can see that the black regions on the 2D plot correspond to flat regions on the 3D plot, this is because those areas needed more than the 100 iterations calculated to tell us if those points are a part or the set or not.</p>
<p>Of course, any polynomial can be used to generate a Julia set but, in my case, I used a second degree polynomial consisting of three terms instead of two. Working with this was a little harder, because it was not as straightforward to find a constant that was inside this set. Eventually a constant I found and liked was -1+.2i. This generated a Julia set that was longer than it was wide with lots of &#x201C;decoration&#x201D; around the edges and within the shape. I like to think that the shapes here look like little galaxies. </p>
<p>To code this project, I first used Mathematica to plot and find a constant that was in the Julia set corresponding to my polynomial. Next, I made it into a 3D plot and exported it as an STL. Then, I imported that STL into OpenSCAD where I removed some of the bottom layers to make it printable. </p>

<h1>Week 3 Challenge and Constraints:</h1>

<p>This week&apos;s challenge by Ultimaker was to create a personalized/specialized bookmark under the parameters of Tween, Evening , and the Netherlands. When I think of the Netherlands one of the first things that I think of is the plethora of tulips that are grown in the countryside. Tulips are a type of flower, which are stereotypically associated with an evening dinner. One of my favorite television shows is a Sci-Fi show called Fringe. In Fringe, Walter, one of the main characters, looks for forgiveness for his scientific experimenting and lack of abiding by normal social constraints through the presence of white tulips. The top of the bookmark also has a hole for attaching tassels or adding another form of personalized materials.</p>

<p>In order for the concept to be functional and fit in a book the product was made to be thin (1/16&quot;). This product will be delicate if it is printed without compensating for fragility.</p>

This week's challenge by Ultimaker was to create a personalized/specialized bookmark under the parameters of Tween, Evening , and the Netherlands. When I think of the Netherlands one of the first things that I think of is the plethora of tulips that are grown in the countryside. Tulips are a type of flower, which are stereotypically associated with an evening dinner. One of my favorite television shows is a Sci-Fi show called Fringe. In Fringe, Walter, one of the main characters, looks for forgiveness for his scientific experimenting and lack of abiding by normal social constraints through the presence of white tulips. The top of the bookmark also has a hole for attaching tassels or adding another form of personalized materials.

In order for the concept to be functional and fit in a book the product was made to be thin (1/16"). This product will be delicate if it is printed without compensating for fragility.

<li>Snap the cap into the 55&#xB0; slots. It can hold your pen temperaury without drying out the ink during the writing process.</li>
</ul>
<p>I was looking for a good stand for my fountain pen, but I was struggling with the best way to hold my pen. Some people keep it up, some keep it down and someone claim that the best way is keeping it horizontally. Obviously all method has pros and cons. If you keep it up you could dry the nib. Keep it down at the risk of dripping. Keep it horizontally dose solve above problem, but hey, it takes much more space.</p>
<p>Since I am not sure which one is the best, the most reasonable solution is to use all of them. The first goal is to design a fountain pen stand that can hold the pen in 3 different ways. The second is to design a tray for Ink bottles so I don&apos;t need keep them somewhere else. The third is to integrate the desktop organizer functionality. And finally to give it a classic wooden style to match the pen and my desk.</p>
<p>Since this is my first design on MyMiniFactory, any comment or suggestion is wellcome.</p>

3-Way Fountain Pen & Ink Holder

 This is a desktop organizer with Pen & Ink holder: It can hold your pen in 3 different angle (vertical, horizontal and 55°). There are 12 slots for fountain pen, the 2 slots at the wall with 55° angle and the horizontal slots share the space with adjacent slots. Grab yourself a piece of tissue, fold it or cut it to fit inside the ink tray. It becomes a good place to clean the nib before writing. Snap the cap into the 55° slots. It can hold your pen temperaury without drying out the ink during the writing process. I was looking for a good stand for my fountain pen, but I was struggling with the best way to hold my pen. Some people keep it up, some keep it down and someone claim that the best way is keeping it horizontally. Obviously all method has pros and cons. If you keep it up you could dry the nib.
