3D Printed Projects: 2020 School Year

Challenge: Students wanting to re-create projects from the last school year and adapt them for the new school year.    These prints have featured previously on this blog and are being reimaged.

The first print was a different version of a stationary holder designed by a student with a 'building theme'.   In the original the student went with a black/orange colour combination.   In this instance the student opted to change the colours and repeat the print.   The student went with the black/blue combination.   The student furthermore wanted to add the addition of lettering to this design to personalise it as a gift.   The print is the same scale and the print details of the print as it was described here on the original post.

The idea behind this print was as a farming themed gift for the father of the student.   They found the design from the regular Tinkercad site and adjusted it by introducing or creating a platform for the cow to stand on.   Furthermore she introduced 'Dad' to the base of the design with the intention of developing it further.   One of the ongoing issues that we have had with prints of these dimensions is the legs of the animal when the PLA is removed often come off.   We have had several prints where this has been the case.   While there are additional materials to remove the PLA we are still looking at tools to complete the process.
