Challenge: To design a complicated Y4 3D Print that was going to push the design skills of a student. To start the process we used the 3D generated material from AI sources ChatGPT. This prompt was targeted at the level of students based on the New Zealand Curriculum and specifically the design and creation part.
Background: This activity came as a bridge activity that was assigned to the class but the ideas and the creation would depend on their creativity. The students were given the prompt from Chat GPT pushed out via Seesaw as a file and then needed to respond with a design. The class was spoken to about making sure that the design was of an innovative and creative standard - that it was not something that could be simply completed in a short space of time but would need to have elements to it such as personalisation and a degree of design that would elevate the project.
In this instance the student identified the personalisation storage creation that was suggested. The student is a relatively new student to the classroom, they have been in the class a short space of time and as a result their design expectation for this task was different from a student who had been in the classroom since last year and a regular user of Tinkercad.
Resources used to complete this project: Tinkercad, Tinkercad App, Bambu H2D Printer, Bambu Silver PLA.
Level of Difficulty: Low/Medium all of the elements here the student was able to complete independently and they did so with a few sessions experience with Tinkercad.
Cost: To complete the project the printer used 70g of regular PLA. With the computation by Bambu Studio Printing Software we would expect the print to have a price point to produce of $1.10c.
Timeframe: To complete the print on regular settings (such as the infill being 15%) the printer was running for three hours to complete. There was essentially no rafting or waste PLA as part of the design (as it was the tree in the corner was produced as it can be seen in the photograph and nothing was removed).
What we would do differently/Next Steps for the students: The personalisation that is the name in the corner was a positive start however the student could have benefitted from further details to go with this - the space for the storage is something that would limit would could be contained in it. The sides are quite plain and could have potentially had another frame or some kind of design applied to it.
Moving on from here we would like the student to consider how they could develop the ideas and design.
