Background: This has been the focus with the classroom for the last week or so. We have had to take the time to print a number of examples of the students work, as they have been refining, reworking and altering their design. An overview of the entire project is located here.
In this example a student has wanted to push themselves to design a realistic and detailed kitchen unit. This idea was created first by another student who came up with a detailed idea of a kitchen unit, which was featuring a sink built into the design. This is located on our blog here. Once the design had been shared with the class and then tested for viability and AR/VR into place.
Size: The side featuring the cutting board which is shown in bottom right. The first side measures 10mm long is 20mm high and 20mm across. From the following side has similar dimensions and a length of 110mm. The sink side was 70mm in length. The fridge which is shown next to the sink was created to be an independent piece. The height of the fridge was 70mm high and 20mm across and 40mm long.
Timeframe: The total time for the print took four and a half hours. This was reflected by what needed to be created to make the print fit with the context of what was required. Any smaller and the design would not have worked with the figure.
What we would do differently/Next steps for the students: The intention has always been to use as much of the schools technology as possible. The 3D Printer are a significant part of it but the exciting part for some of the students will be the use of the sticker machine to produce decals to work in conjunction with the print. The student who created this is now going to work out the area of the bench, measure the size of the fridge and use technology available to consider how they can create the decals. Although this student does not have specific experience with the use of the machine before they will be using their iPad and Pic collage.
