Background: We wanted to highlight the uniqueness that is possible by using the 'scribble tool' which is located on the main Tinkercad interface which can be used to create unique features and details which then can be created into a 3D Print.
If you want to see a historical example of this you can click on this link and look at another example which was created by a student in 2020. In this example the student wanted to create something 'tractor' and 'farming themed' and produced this original design based on teachers instructions and peers in the classroom who were able to guide him. He is a eight year old student who completed this after two weeks of working with Tinkercad designs and ideas.
Level of Difficulty: Completed independently by an eight year old, there are four basic steps to complete the process and he was able to do so in under thirty minutes from his original challenge. In retrospect he could have modified the design in a couple of ways (see below).
Cost/Price: Both these examples were printed using the Schools Bambu H2D. The Bambu Lab software was able to determine a price and PLA plastic use for both prints. The larger print used 27g of plastic at a cost of $0.67 per unit to print. The smaller print used 20g of plastic, took thirty minutes to print and cost $0.40 to produce. There was no waste PLA with either design as the design was flat.
Timeframe: Forty five minutes total print (large) and thirty minutes print the smaller design.
What we would do differently/Next steps for the students: The hole placed in the top right hand corner of the design was slight larger than it needed to be. The student expressed a little dissatisfaction with the details created by the 'scribble' tool and wanted to improve the detail.
