We have already demonstrated that one group of students wants to use a 'Mirecraft' themed design, which was have shared on this blog. Our second group is currently investigating the viability of using our 3D Printers to create some range of bath toys.
We have touched on these in the past. Our initial designs in this regard came by accident as we found to our surprise that in nearly all cases the 3D Prints that are produced on default setting (which has a twenty per cent infill) float. You can read about our initial investigation into this when our articulated butterfly which was designed by a student was then shown to float and have the articulated 'flying' motion added to by motion the in the swimming pool.
This led to this 2023 post about floating in the school pool. From this we developed the idea of a 'Bath Toy' business for our 2023 Market Day - you can read about this idea here. We also have completed numerous versions of boat toys, including entire sessions devoted to the 'will it float?' concept.
