3D Printed iPad Stand Imperfection Project - Part Two

 

This projects has several elements to it that are going to mean that it will be a talking point for the students this year.    Firstly it was deliberately printed using glow-in-the-dark filament as a talking point or a discussion point to have with students.   

The student wanted to have the design for the project on the front - while it has been completed it lacks a little of the detailing that would have made it accurate as we would have liked.   The logo for the school, something we spent considerable time looking at during the course of this project has been completed to a degree that the student was happy with however it could have had more relation (in terms of the central koru, the flares that come off it).   A positive for the print was that it holds a iPhone or similar device without any issues.   The little 'tacks' that are featured on the outer rim of the print have impressively been held in place during printing - although they are extremely small and detailed.

The back of the design is currently blank - as shown by the photograph on the left.  The intention from the student was to use the sticker making machine to take a logo from the school, print it as an oval design and then attach it to the print.  This has been done previously on some of the iPhone as shown in these exemplars on this post.

We would not have attempted to print this project had we not had the Bambu H2D available.

We are using this in conjunction with some of the other ideas featured in our 'idea's box' as a way to encourage students thinking and design creativity.
