Challenge: For student to create and print an original fidget toy.
Background: This is an original design piece from a former student in the classroom who is now nine years old. In it she wanted to create a cartoon character that had humour in its features that also was constructed using linking - of particular note is the dimensions and details of this print.
This student has designed this print in their own time and presented it complete for printing. They have designed the linking themselves based on a range of designs that they worked on last year.
Resources used to complete this project: iPad, Tinkercad App, Bambu P1S, Cotton Candy PLA.
Level of Difficulty: High - this is a complex design by a creative middle school student (formerly junior school) who has created a range of designs and projects of an increasingly complex nature. They are working independently to complete them.
Size: The print measures 110mm across. The main body is 40mm high and the design was 10mm wide.
Cost/Price: The unit used 5g of PLA for rafting and a further 16g of PLA to complete the print. Thus a total of 21g of PLA was used for this project. This had a price point of $0.41 to complete.
Timeframe: The project took forty four minutes to complete which included a six minute warm up and thirty seven minute print time.
What we would do differently/Next steps for the student: The student is keen to test the linking to ensure that it can last and function as intended. It is noted that the feet could have some additional development.
