Y4 Extension - Pencil Sharpener Challenge Using Existing Designs

This challenge is a slight variation of the post from yesterday.   In yesterdays example the student concerned used the Tinkercad main interface to create from scratch a turtle design.  

In another design running at the same time from a different student who wanted to focus on using the existing library of animals from Tinkercad to then create a base/host for the pencil sharpener.  As the design was made available the student concentrated on adding the detail to include the mechanical part of the print.  This student wanted to include two pencil sharpeners hence the pair of bears that make up the design.

In the view shown above the first bear can clearly be shown to house the single pencil sharpener.  in the second view, shown left, the double pencil sharpener opening can be seen.  In the first example the entrance hole for the pencil sharpener is not located directly adjacent to the exit point.   The second matches however it needs to be tested with the pencil sharpener inserted.

Time for this print is currently at the four hour mark.  With some modification the print will be completed, however this will involve testing with the pencil sharpener and adjusting the print accordingly.
