Gyro Keychain - Junior Christmas Print

 

We are always looking for designs and prints that we can modify particularly those that are relatively straight forward to print.  We are always looking for adapting a print, particularly if something can lead to it working for a large number of students in a short space of time.

The example shown left is a good illustration of a process that is deceptively simple.   The design is called amongst other things a 'gyro keyring'.    The student in this case needs to alter the lettering at the centre of the design, the basic design of the print can then be spun, leading to a gyro effect.

In this example, while the student has personalised it, the design was created elsewhere, so there is not a full post about it - the other issue is the printing time, which is thirty eight minutes with no rafting or waste PLA.   With this timeframe it is realistic to consider that a a class set could easily be created, and again it would have the potential to be a Christmas print with the initials of another person put at the centre of the design.
