3D Printing: Sky Tower Model

Model of Auckland Sky Tower

Challenge/Background: Our School was contacted by a member of the public who wanted to 3D Print a project for their child.  There was a delay in using the publicly available 3D Printers and as a favour they asked for our school to print the project and make it available.
Task: In this instance the design was completed externally and our role was simply to print the design, as it had been designed and completed externally.
Level of Difficulty: Minimum - as a print only.
Issues: None - although in the picture there is a small nick in the front right of the base, this was caused by removal from the print after printing.
Size: 25cm in height, 8cm in width, depth varies according to the design but up to 10cm at the base.
Timeframe: Nineteen hours.
Process: To increase the quality of the print Innofil 3D Print filament was used.  The was designed from an external source so the code was emailed to us.   As a result the design process differed from the regular designs on this site - as it had been created in AutoCad.
Reflection: This was an approach from an external source and it something that would probably not be repeated again, it was a favour to someone who asked rather than an original creation from the students at our school.
