Background: The student concerned wanted to create a recognisable Minecraft Figure. They had previously designed 'The Villager' which was a print that we featured on this blog, in March. The student identified another figure that they felt they would be able to replicate and the shape of the figure when it was 3D Printed would have a high recognition factor.
The student was able to create the figure independently using their cohort two skills and able to present it to the teacher as complete. The student is an eight year old student, experienced with Tinkercad in class this year and last years.
Resources Used: iPad, Tinkercad, Bambu H2D, Regular PLA.
Level of Difficulty: High. This is a small scale print in terms of size (see below) however there are layers to it and all of the different aspects of the design need to work in unison with each other. The other issue is that other students gave feedback to the student about the degree of the recognition factor.
Cost/Price: As it stands at the moment the print uses 16g of PLA to complete and the price point for this is $0.40.
Timeframe: The print using the Bambu H2D took fifty three minutes to complete.
What we would do differently/Next Steps for the students: There are various possibilities moving forward, depending on what the student decides. There have been a number of versions of Minecraft prints and projects created by our students this term.
