3D Printed 'Cyclops' Print - Completed Design

This project was started by the use of 'eyes' for as a provocation for the students, where they were challenged to design an original and unique creation on the basis of this.

This was detailed in a previous post on this blog.

The sheet of eyes that is shown left had a variety of sizes and also had a variety of details.  It was purchased from a local craft store for $5.00 although there are online versions listed significantly cheaper.

The design was completed in Tinkercad.  It was designed by a seven year old student.

We will be producing a teaching directed and targeted video explaining the process and the details of this project.

The final print, when printed with rainbow filament is show left.   The eye as detailed has been held in place by the space that was designed to house it, it did not need to be glued as it was forced in, and it expanded and then locked in place.

The print was successful and has got us thinking what else might we be able to present to the students to provide them a provocation to design and create?

We can print one of these designs on the Bambu in just over an hour for a single print, although we have put four of them on a plate and successfully printed all of them with an adjusted timeframe.
