Timeframe: Twelve hours. The entire print was created, designed and run in a single print. Given the dimensions of the print and the purpose of it, which evolved into having books sittiing inside it, the print size and subsequent time to print it would be the minimum required. The exception would be the additional features that were added to the print in the design by the student.
Size: The base of the design was a 100mm by 100mm square. The butterfly base, which was at the end of the design was of a similar dimension. The sides of the bookstand, created by the emoji were essentially a similar dimension but were round in shape. The thickness of the design varied from point to point but the width was generally in the range of 50mm. The butterfly wings of paricular note were only 2mm thick in places.
What we would do differently: The student tried to put as much features into the design as possible, She almost created too much material for the design. She also had the 'tounge' part of the emoji design which went past the base of the design, creating a slighlty uneven design. Ideally she should have adapted this part of the design so that the tip of the tounge joined to the base of the design.
Next stepss for the student: The student could have refined the design to ensure that it concentrated on a small number of additions to the design. Obviously the student needs to check their prints before the final print run to make sure they balance as perfectly as possible.
