3D Printed Exemplars: Bringing Up Standards 2

 

This is the companion post to a post on this blog on October 6th.  In this post we spoke about iPad stands that needed to have some finishing where the top of the designs had to be replaced or reworked.

In this example (left) we had a motorbike design which needed to be replaced due to its lack of finishing.   The student who designed this iPad decided to replace it with a font from a game that the student liked.  

The print was located online and had been created and made available on a site that allows material to be 

The font/heading was 90mm across, 30mm wide and 30mm high for the main point of the lettering.   The print was completed on the Bambu H2D Printer and took one hour to complete.  It was decided for the purpose of contrast to complete the print in gold, although there is a question of the spray painting of the design.

A common adhesive glue was used to bind the extra font to the top of the print.

In the second example we had a series of flowers across the top of the iPad stand.  Three of the four flowers didn't survive the removal of the small amount of rafting on the top.

The replacement piece was the bird shown left which was designed in Tinkercad.   The student wanted to create a duck and the dimensions of the design reflected that.   The bird was 70mm long, 40mm across and 20mm high (the body) the head was another 20mm high.

The duck took thirty minutes to print on the Bambu H2D.

The student should have considered the based of the duck which would have been easier to attach to the top of the iPad stand.
