Background: An eight year old using iPad and Tinkercad. The student was completing the earring challenge and looking to create something that was recognisable. They decided to challenge themselves by selection two cartoon characters with an extremely high recognition factor among students. The student was able to colour match both characters and add details based on their knowledge of both characters. The student created multiple versions or pairs using these as the base design. There are versions involved both characters on the left and the right as a identical pair.
Level of Difficulty: Medium/High. The context of the challenge is relatively easy however the student chose to undertake a detailed print of a high profile character. The print shown left is the first attempt from the student to do so and revision would be expected in this case.
Size:: As can be seen from the screenshot of the Tinkercad design screen in the top photo the figures are 45mm across and 50mm high. The prints are 5mm wide. For a pair of earrings these would be the most common size.
Cost/Price: Two print both of the pair the printer used 7g of PLA to complete the print and this had a price point suggested by Bambu Studios Lab of $0.17c to complete.
Timeframe: The print took twenty two minutes to complete. While the prints have a pleasing level of detail it can be seen that the finish on the top right hand side of the right figure looks a little rough. When the print is revised the figure in this location would need some refining (perhaps to increase its width).
What we would do differently/Next Steps for the students: Refining of the top right hand corner of the print colour matching, ensuring that details like the legs on the left hand side are both equal. This is something that could be repeatedly printed to ensure that it is completed to a high standard as the print itself is able to be completed easily and has a small amount of PLA ussed.
