3D Printed Presentation Props Part 2

Challenge: As noted previously to enhanee a presentation for the local community and group of schools.  The displays were static and generally two dimensional, by adding 3D figures 
Background: The presentations had the typical 'science fair'/board set up and we were looking at something to enhance the presentation, by adding additional features, in a 3D sense, to improve or have a point of difference.  Due to the auidence (adults) and timeframe the props were for the most part used from a search on Tinkercad.  These were not designed by students - they were created by third parties and re-sized and printed by the students.

 Left: One group was presenting about the 'Pests' in the School area.  They identified that feral cats were one of the creatures and used a 'cat' search to locate this design, which was then increased in size for a ten hour print.
 Left: The 'Pests' group also identified Hedgehogs (which are protected in parts of Europe, but considered a pest here in New Zealand.  This was located from a general search by students on Tinkercad and then re-sized for a ten hour print.
Left: As part of a 'Machine' themed display this student located a series of machine cogs, printed them out and then hung them from the display board to form a border.  Each cog took approximately forty minutes so the tray of nine shown here was six hours altogether.
