Background: As explained previously this year we have revisited several different tasks from last year including our cyclops challenge, details of which you can read here.
We've always looking at ways to extend the students thinking and using craft items that can be incorporated into 3D Printing and students design.
In this instance the student opted to go with two eyes but to ensure it was not the traditional pair of eyes in this instance the student opted to have them on top of each other on the shape of a snowman with additional texture provided by the hair.
Level of Difficulty: Low - the fact that the design was a monster allowed for it not to have traditional measurements or features - which meant there was no right or wrong answers for the design that the students created.
Cost/Price: The print used 26g of filament and had a price point of $0.65c. This information was supplied by Bambu Studios as part of their software when the .stl Tinkercad file was imported across into the printer software.
Timeframe: Using the standard settings on the Bambu H2D this print took one hour to complete. There was minimal rafting, mainly around the hair at the back.
What we would do differently/Next steps for the students: The location of the two eyes could be more refined. There is a small gap for the eyes however the smallest eyes required a slightly larger gap. The design does not have a solid base and this has meant that there is something of a 'wobble' present which upon testing of the print limits what can be stored in it. If the print was to be expanded and store more stationary then the base would need to stabilised.
