3D Printed Junior Counting Resource: Nearly there....

 

We have replaced the scales that were part of the top of the crocodile scales as this meant the numbers were less than visible, the solution was to remove the scales to allow the numbers to stand out.

The design has otherwise gone through only a small level of change.   The idea is for rote counting to five and ten, starting with the crocodile.

The numbers have also been enlarged with a bigger font and one that goes to the edge of the print.

This was the original attempt without the removal of the scales.

A key issue is looking at how robust the print will be with the numbers so close to edges.  Our solution to this is have the target audience (which in this case is five year old children) to test and test this print to ensure that it works, that they enjoy using it and it can last.

We are currently unsure about using spray paint to change the colour of the print.  As it is going to be something that is frequently handled it is anticipated that this is not necessary.

The print is still coming in at around the two hour mark.

The linking has already been recreated from an original design that we located on the Thingiverse website.

It is our anticipation that this range of counting material will be successfully printed within the coming days.
