Background: There are a number of elements at work here. We have previously blogged about the trophies that students have been working on based on an initial design from the Tinkercad main interface page. We had students create the basic shape and then modify them by placing names or information into the design - you can view that blog post here.
The version of this design however that caused this project to be actioned was a slightly smaller version of the sellotape holder that was also featured as a blog post. This physical copy was shown around to a number of staff and one of whom made a request to a student from the class - for there to be customised designs for the local sports team.
By producing a master copy of this print the student needs to only replace the name plate at the bottom for each person (and also put the name of the team on the outside of the cup). There are going to be an experiment with doing this with the glow-in-the dark filament for a novelty affect which might slightly increase the price point.
After this was completed the first of the personalised designs was then taken and projected onto the school field it can be seen with Mt Taranaki in the background.
One student was able to complete the entire project including meeting the the person who wanted the designs created in under one hour and the only remaining part of the project will be to print the trophies.
