Still Working On My Space Station


This project is getting more realistic every day. This is what I did in the past 3 hours and 24 minutes:


  • I added a connection point from this “web” structure to the body of the space station. This took me a couple of tries, but after I did it the space station was much more realistic.
  • I made the body of the space shuttle smaller since it was slightly too large, and it intersected with a lot of parts (There are still some intersection errors that I haven’t fixed yet).
  • I added a main frame to the “web” structure. This was still a slow process, but it was still one of the fastest parts of this project.
  • I added smaller crosses in between the “web” structure. This added much more realism. I didn’t finish though since I still have 2 more sides to do.

What I still need to do:


  • I still need to fix the “web” structure. It intersects some parts and only 60% of it’s done right now.
  • I still need to replicate this part on the other side. So far, I have only done one side. I should be able to replicate it quickly with the mirror tool.
  • I need to add a similar part further into the space station’s structure. This will probably take much longer and will be more challenging.
  • I also have to add more realism to the body of the space station, since right now it’s mostly just a block.

This took a long time, and I’m estimating that making these supports will take about 12 more hours since they take a long time to make. So far, this project has taken a long time, but I’m happy with the current result. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments!

Still Working On My Space Station


What I fixed

  • I fixed the shape of the body of the space station since it was the wrong shape

  • I fixed the shape of the Thermal Radiator Panels since before they were too large and thick

  • I changed the angle and position of the Thermal Radiator Panels since they were also wrong, I moved them from horizontal to vertical and I added a new angle

  • I added new parts in the middle of the 2 Thermal Radiator panels (I still need to add more detail)

  • Changed the angle of the solar panels on the space station for more realism


What I still need to do:

  • Still need to work on the body of the space station like adding supports

  • I still need to add more to the parts in the middle of the 2 Thermal Radiator Panels since right now they are super simple and they have the wrong shapes


This space station is really coming together! I can’t wait for the result. If you have any suggestions about my space station you can share them in the comments!

Lots of bug fixes, quality-of-life changes, and the start of a rewrite!

try it out! https://k754a.hackclub.app/



I’ve been still a bit busy, but over the last 2 days, I ended up fixing a lot of bugs with crashing, especially with dealing with multithreaded tab handling.


Some of the quality-of-life changes I did were creating a new tab handle that allows you to go back to the new tab in history and other small changes!


The biggest bug was where, if you searched something and, while it was loading, switched tabs, it would overwrite your tab to the one you switched to, not the original one you searched in. Now that is fully fixed!


Overall a good day! I’m going to fully rewrite and comment all 2500+ lines of the GUI and other functions, fix a LOT of bugs, and then add settings, history, and a few other things!

Thanks for reading!

I’m Still Working On Adding Realism To My Space Station|


I was able to do a lot in the past 4 hours

  • I was able to add an angle to the solar panels on my space station

  • I fixed the main solar panel connection to the main body

  • I created radiator panels with realistic fillets to add realism

  • I added a long solar panel to the end of the radiator panels


What I still need to work on

  • I still need to create the fluid manifold assembly and fix the body to add realism

  • I need to add a little realism to other parts


So far, this project is going well and I can’t wait for the end result!

I Just Started My Space Station!


I decided to do the International Space Station!


So far I have been working on the solar panels on the ISS, I have also started to connect them together and add small detail to them

My next goal is to create the main frame of the building and then move on to smaller details



I’m excited on where this project will go! If you have any suggestions share them in the comments.

# Space Shuttle
____________________________________________________________________
# I Created a Space Shuttle Using CAD (Computer Aided Design)
____________________________________________________________________
## How to use my project:
- You can visit the model of my space shuttle at https://cad.onshape.com/documents/0cc091979462d1f40116053c/w/ab82948fa33e8f748e0fcb44/e/4129cc439ac4ca6aab65041f?renderMode=0&uiState=6a565da1ab0f5b3c13bc4737
‎ ‎
- If this link says 403 Forbidden, you should select the address bar at the top of the screen and then press enter to refresh the page, which should fix the issue

Step-by-step explanation:
1. Select the address bar at the top of the screen

2. Press enter/search

- Another way to fix this is copying the url and pasting it into another tab

Step-by-step explanation:
1. Select the address bar at the top of the screen
2. Copy the address bar that you selected

3. Paste the link in a different address bar (a new tab)
## How to download my project:
- First go through the link to visit my project
- Then select the download button

- After selecting the download, button a menu should appear where you can then select many options before you export the file
____________________________________________________________________

## Does this project support AMS (Multi-Color Printing)?
- Yes, this project should support AMS since it's broken down into separate pieces instead of just coloring the visible faces on the rocket
____________________________________________________________________

## Why did I choose a space shuttle?
- This project was very hard to make and not many space shuttles are available, and they are usually not realistic. I wanted to make a space shuttle since it was the theme of the event, and I was interested in testing my CAD skills. I am so happy with the result and realism of my rocket. If you look at other designs online, a lot of them will be way less realistic than mine. For example, here is a link to a space shuttle on maker world. Comparing it to my rocket, you can see the difference in realism.
https://makerworld.com/en/models/956260-space-shuttle#profileId-925247
____________________________________________________________________

## What was the most difficult part of this project?

- One of the most difficult parts of this project was the back of my rocket. There were so many complex, intricate parts that I had to redo so many times that it took me countless hours just to get it right.

____________________________________________________________________
## What I learned from this project:
- I learned how to use multiple new tools that I've never used before, like the transform tool
- I learned how to copy off images and try to make the dimensions correct
- I learned how to use many tools better, like fillet tools
- I learned how to make complex sketches
____________________________________________________________________
Thank you for viewing my ship! I had so much fun creating this project and I can't wait to start my next project (which will probably be a space station!)
____________________________________________________________________
My readme is easier to follow since it has multiple images so check that out if you are confused for the viewing and downloading process

I Finished My Space Shuttle!


This has taken me so many hours and I’m very happy with the result


What I did in the past 4 hours:

  • I started and completed the large support that connects the body of the shuttle to the external tanks.
    I had to cut into the external tank and I used multiple tools to add realism like the extrude tool.
    After that, I created cylinder supports that i then connected using the transform and extrude tools.
  • I started and completed the small support that connected the nose of the shuttle to the external tanks. I had to use many transform tools to make the correct shape but eventually I shaped it correctly.
  • I added a liquid oxygen fuel line to the large external tank and connected it to the system tunnel with many supports. I mostly used the extrude tool for this step. This took the most time to complete in the 4 hours since my last devlog.
    ____________________________________________________________________________

What My Space Shuttle Includes


Realistic external tanks

  • Realistic rings surrounding the solid rocket boosters
  • Realistic rocket booster shape
  • Small realistic features like an access door and forward booster separation modules
  • Realistic supports that carry the rocket
  • Realistic external tank
  • Realistic LO2 feedline and LO2 feedline fairing
  • Realistic stringers
  • Realistic ring frames

A realistic rocket

  • Realistic wings
  • Realistic nose with small features like the cockpit window and star tracker doors
  • Realistic vertical stabilizer
  • Realistic body shape
  • Realistic Aft fuselage, which includes the space shuttle’s main engines and also includes the orbital maneuvering system and the RCS thrusters

Thanks for the support on this project! I will likely do a space station for my next project.


I will probably ship this project tomorrow, and then it should be available for printing! I tried to design the shuttle for multicolor printing so you should be able to choose multiple colors. There should be a total of 3 different colors since I wanted to limit the amount of filament colors for printing.


If you still have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments!

I Finished The Rocket Component Of My Space Shuttle



This Was A Long And Hard Process But I was Finally Able To Complete The Rocket Component Of My Shuttle!



This Is What I Have Done In The Past 6 Hours

  • I fixed an error in the front of my rocket that made the front look less realistic (This took so long since I needed to fix an area with a curved shape. which is difficult to do)
  • I remade the elevons of my rocket since they were unrealistic before
  • I renamed my project from CAD to Space Shuttle for more clarity in what my project is


What I Still Need To Do

  • I still need to connect the rocket to the external tanks (They are hidden in this image)


This Project Is So Close To Being Done! If You Have Any Suggestions To Make This Rocket Better, Please State Them In The Comments!

Performance analyzer and comments for our DOM!

Today, I created a performance analyzer that could tell me how many microseconds it takes to get through certain programs. This helped a lot with optimization and making things faster! I also finished and optimized the DOM code!

Today was a pretty basic day; I’m a bit busy over this coming week, so it’s going to be a bit more broken up, but overall a good day today!

Performance increases, and a rewrite of the parser!

Today was a nice easy day; I rewrote most of the parser, fixing a lot of bugs, and also learned how to use the performance analyzer in C++! The code is much more documented, with every line describing what it’s doing, making it super easy to follow along!


The main change was an increase in speed from about 5% CPU usage to 1% and a 50MB reduction in RAM usage, allowing for 10 tabs at once, with only 61MB overall, rather than the 1000MB of something like Chrome! as well as about a 6% faster parse and load time.

There is still a lot to optimize and work on, so I’ll keep doing that!

Updated the web version to the latest!

Ok, so the main thing i did today was update the web version, and got it to match the main version overall, with everything!

I also tried to get better formatting on the text, but i think my code is just so muddled its gonna be impossible, so my plan is to start rewriting it, with the things I’ve learned, and updating the comments (as i have a lot of them, in many wrong spaces)! that should take a bit, but hopefully will pay off in the future!


If you want to try the new version, its here:

Almost Done The Back Of My Rocket!


I Can’t Believe How Close I Really Am From Completing This Project. This Is All I Need To Do Before I Am Done:

  • A quick fix to the wings of the space shuttle (this will probably take 10 minutes and then I will be done with the back of my rocket!

  • Connect the fuel tanks to the rest of the build (They are hidden in this picture)

  • Possibly fix one area on the front of my rocket (This Is Optional But Would Make The Rocket Look Much Better)


What I Did Since Last Devlog:

  • I completely remade the vertical stabilizer (also called the tail fin) of the space shuttle

  • Remade and angled the oms pods since they were completely wrong before

  • Moved up the oms engine nozzles (The bell looking component on the rocket)

  • Redesigned the RCS thruster ports (They are beside the OMS engine nozzles)


If you have any improvements that i could make to the space shuttle, please mention them in the comments!

Scroll bar support, bookmarks, and printing sites!


Today I got a lot done; the main things were getting scrollbars, bookmarks, and getting sites to print all working!

I ended up running into a lot of bugs (especially with the scroll bar), but now it works, so yeah!

Currently the browser portion is far behind, and I want to update it, so I’ll try doing that next! Overall today was a good day; I got a lot done and a lot working!


Anyways, thanks for reading!
