Challenge: For student to make a unique, individualised vase that is functional.
Background: We detailed in a previous post about how a student had started working on the original design for a vase inspired by locating a range of them online. The first one, the miniature became a forced perspective lesson involving digital photography.
The student then located a range of designs which were described as an 'ornate range of jugs'.
In the design shown left the student used the examples of the designs to create their own version and then used their knowledge of Tinkercad to apply a personal message on the base of the vase.
Level of Difficulty: Low - the student was working on a timeframe to turn this around in a short space of time. There are a few features on display in the design but clearly more could have been developed or designed.
Size: The student wanted to push the dimension of the design and the measurements reflected this. The design measured 200mm high and was 100mm wide at the bae (and the top).
Cost/Price: Using the Bambu Lab Studio software we can determine that the print used 255g of PLA plastic to produce and this had a cost price of $6.40. The cost point for this price meant that we would be limited with what we would be producing at this size.
Timeframe: With the dimensions of this print, the regular settings that the Bambu H2D meant that it took seven hours to complete.
What we would do differently/Next steps for the students: The way that the vase has been personalised was done quickly however this could have been done with more precision, including potentially putting the lettering into the base of the design. There was nothing personalised other than at the location shown is something that could be addressed as it could have been done with more creativity.
