Background: We encourage students at our school and in our class to create original designs that are practical and original. If a design meets this brief then we take an opportunity to print it.

Size: Width of 6cm, length of 6cm and a height of 6cm.
Timeframe: The print took five hours - the difference that this has made, the original design in this series was a nine hour print (both with a 8mm nozzle). This was a more compact design as the original had wings and an extended beak etc.
Process: Most of the key features of this design were created using the basic interface options available on Tinkercad. It was the students first original design for a Y6 (11 year old student) and as a consquence the student wanted to keep the design simple to ensure it was successful. As per most designs here it was a process involving Tinkercad/Cura and then printing on an Ultimaker 2+.
What we would do differently: Nothing. The design was a considerable improvement on the original, it was more practical, had better balance and served a better purpose. The student was thrilled with the result and it would be considered an extremely successful print.
