3D Printing: Ooshies and Maze Development

We are continuing to develop our range of Ooshie stands.   We've produced some larger scale stands and also some smaller ones such as the one shown left.

The smaller versions shown left suits two of the figures standing on a basic platform - the potential is for some degree of personalisation.

The stand previously featured in a post on the blog and since then the student has revisited and reconfigured the design - adjusting the name of the person that is on display and correcting some of the division aspects of the stand.

We printed the stand in a lime green version - we want to introduce some differentiation with the height of the stand and variation that it provides and also significant reducing the print time associated with this design.

Our 'Maze' challenge which was created by the example shown yesterday on the blog has led to the classroom working on their own versions and problem solving.

Our first step in the process is the creation followed by AR/VR project onto different surfaces to compare designs and creations - thinking critically about what might work, what needs to be adjusted and what we could do differently.   We are going to then choose as a class some of the best examples and print them and then provide physical examples for the students to test and experiment which should then again refine their designs.
