The next batch of these designs have followed a similar format and process as detailed on this blog. As such other than a brief update about the size and details of them they have followed the previously described pattern and so will remain relatively static in description.
'Mum the best cook ever' - is 5mm thick was 90mm across and 120mm high. This had a print time of three and a half hours with the default settings. This was designed by a student at their first attempt using Tinkercad and using the tutorial that is featured in this blog as a beginners guide, otherwise the student had no formal training or assitance.
The process was perfect wtih the exception of the 'v' as part of ever in the bottom right hand corner which came as a result of the lettering being too small. Student used pre-created available lettering and imaging to produce result.
Left: 'C & L' Star. Sometimes the best learning can be accidental, in this case this is a print that didn't work and the student was to redesign it. If you view the star you can see that the circle at teh top of the star is too large relative to the size of the design. This had the consequence of preventing the design from being successful, although the student was able to adjust it with some quick and basic design fixing. It was a one hour print time reflected in the dimensions of the design which was 5mm wide/thick and 70mm high. Student was looking to increase the size to the 120mm range.
Left: 'Hunter Dad' came in at 90mm high, 90mm across and was 5mm thick. The student based the design on freely available images that involved a simple Tinkercad search. The lettering was available from the main template, the only additional features were the hole to allow its use as a badge/key ring and the addition of the surname of the family on the side of the design (not visible in photograph). The design took fifteen minutes for someone using Tinkercad for the first time, and was produced with zero waste PLA/plastic. Three hours to print at the regular default settings
