Reflection:
Do you think there is a different approach to design the name tag? What are the design trade-off in terms of complexity and # of steps and shaped used? Does it compromise the design when it comes to actual printing stage?
Lesson Plan (Part 3: 120min)
Now, you are ready to create your own design that you can actual print and use it. Make sure to apply the design so it is actually printable (with reasonable time to print), if you are printing with round or shapes with many curve, make sure you provide support during printing.
Reflection:
- In the printed object, is it lighter or heavier than you expected? Why do you think it is so?
- Did you get a chance to see the inside of the object as it was printing? What did it look like?
- What do you notice about the curved shape of the design (its texture, its roundness)?
- Is there a limitation to the size of a hole in an object? If so, why?
- List two different architectural styles that are incorporated in your design
- How could you modify the design so it can be print faster? or more sturdy?
