3D Printed 'Rainbow' Badge Exemplar

 

Challenge: For a student to individually create and produce an individualised badge.

Background: This task is a foundation task for students in our classroom.   The students are able to complete the task by following a flipped learning task from this instructional video and able to work independently.   This student is a Y4 student who is eight years old, with their second year experience with Tinkercad and 3D Design.

Crucial to this design was the addition of a hole, the name design being sunk into the base of the design instead of on the outside and the addition of three additional features two stars and the heart.

Size: The design was 60mm high and 110mm long.  It was 10mm thick.   As this is intended to be a robust badge that is able to be used to name a bag or swimming bag.

Timeframe: One hour and forty minutes.   Given the dimension of the print the time would be about correct.   This was produced on a Snapmaker printer using the Tinkercad design on the regular settings, including typical infill for the design (twenty percent).

What we would do differently/Next steps for the student: Nil.   This is an exceptionally well balanced design which is robust and detailed.   The print was completed using 'rainbow' filament which meant that there was no need to spray paint the final design.
