Background: This was an open challenge to students to come up with a storage idea that they could personalise and create themselves that was original. The student in this case came up with the concept, the idea and the execution of the design. This was completed by a eight year old student using Tinkercad working independently without any teacher input.
The student used the Tinkercad App, the Tinkercad scribble tool for the skateboard design.
Level of Difficulty: Low - the student was able to do this in a short space of time because they were confident it could easily be completed. There were some small issues to be resolved (see below) but the student was able to complete this easily.
Cost/Price: Using the Bambu Studios Software prior to printing we are able to determine that the print uses 122g of PLA to complete and this has a price point of $3.06.
Timeframe: On the regular settings for the Bambu H2D to complete this print the print took three hours and fifty one minutes. The main storage area and the supports were printed as a single print, the student could have reduced the amount of support required by printing both of these separately and then gluing after completion.
What we would do differently/Next steps for the students:
The student could have spent more time on the design on the Skateboard which is the centrepiece for the design. The supports needed some attention - while they certainly tilted the design and had it on a clear slope, as shown in the above photograph the connection between them and the storage needed to be more robust.
The reverse of the box/storage currently doesn't have any decoration or design and this is something were additional detail could easily be added.
