This Ghosts clip is an amazing 3D printed project that you can make on your own and enjoy the process of making it. This little ghost clip will help you and also will be very useful, let's say if you are reading a book or if you need a paper clip to separate your stuff it will help you, the ghosts clipper is a design that my partner and I made with 6.5 cm longer, and 2.7 cm wide, it will be able to bend and hold the any kind of paper and keep it safe.

Lesson Plan
With a partner, you will recreate your ghost clip using Solidworks. You and your partner MUST have identical files that you create by collaborating on each step, one at a time.
Construction Instructions:
- Create a constraint box for the central portion of the ghost off of the origin.
- Follow with two smaller constraint boxes set equal to each other on the top and bottom for the spikes and curves.
- Mark all these boxes for construction as we create them
- Make a midpoint line from the origin that stretches the full height of the ghost.
- Create a box not for construction, over the main constraint box for the body of the ghost.
- Circular Arcs
- Create three 3pt arcs in the bottom constraint box and set them all equal to each other.
- Each arc should have its curved end touching the bottom of the box, with its open end towards the main body.
- Everything from this point forward is going to be only on the left side unless specified.
- Triangles
- Create a construction line from the origin to the top of the center of the top constraint box to find the midpoint of the top box.
- Create 7 anchor points in the top constraint box (4 on bottom, 3 on top). Create lines between these anchor points, and make them all equal.
- Create a construction line from the bottom of the arcs upwards to where the mouth will be.
- Make a construction line from the other construction line going directly up, and then one perpendicular to that. They should be set equal to each other at 0.6cm
- Create a center point arc from where these two construction lines meet that then goes from each end to the other.
- Create a vertical line from the endpoint of the arc 2.5cm for the mouth.
- Offset this entire thing with caps to create the mouth.
- Everything should be offset 0.15cm on both sides with caps.
- After this is offset delete the cap going over the midpoint
- Create a construction line from the inside line of the mouth where the arc starts straight up to line up the center point of the eye. Create a center point circle from the end of the construction line for the eye.
- Mirror the mouth, eye, and triangles to make it all symmetrical.
Design Choices/Edits
- First of all My partner and I took the measurements of the length of the ghosts and we made sure that we matched the measurements together. After that we took measurements of the length, and we also measured the width and talked about how we will do it. After finishing the whole box we looked at the drawings of each other and measured each line that the ghost had after we made sure that we had the same length and width and we were ready to go to the next step. We made the hombs. We measured each one and used the compass to make a perfect arch, we also measured the length of the mouth and how far was on the side of our ghost. We also measured the eyes above the mouth, after our drawing was done we checked it and we were good to go. Here is the drawing that we started with:

- We went to solid works and made the same drawing but in 3D we made the same measurements. The only thing that we modified was the the mouth, because the location of its items wasn’t matching at all.
To make the mouth matcha we took smart dimensions from the middle point of the hombs. After making the middle point for our ghost mouth we measured the sideline of our ghost to the center point and made the width and the length of the mouth, thats how we can see in this picture we changed the length of the mouth.



- My partner and I also measured the eyes. Each eye had a measurement of 7 cm but when we were on solid work we were looking for something that didn't match it with the real one so that’s how we added one more centimeter but we did it a little bit bigger than the real one.



Take the mouth outlines from the bottom center point of the arc and the outermost point of the arc before it extends straight up. Create the vertical aspect of the mouth from there.
Offset the mouth only one direction inside and add caps.
Delete the cap that formed across the centerline, and then mirror the remainder of the mouth over the centerline to create the entire line. Take the eye measurements 0.5cm from the sides, and 1.1cm from the top of the second triangle. Set the eye dimensions to 0.6cm to put them in the proper place.
