On Monday we got the 3D Printers in Class and it was EPIC.Our 3D Printing mentor Fashid said that we were to make a Phone Case so I got straight to work. First I made a Rectangle and put it on the blank canvas on Tinkercad and then I started moulding into the iPhone Case I moulded the case using a fillet which is basically making the corners round. To make the corners round you have to make a sqaure the put a hole that covers ¾ of the sqaure like this:
and then group the two shapes together .
and then group the two shapes together .
It was very hard to mould it because I needed exact measurements but eventually I moulded it into this:
So I Printed it out but it was just a bit too small so I adjusted some measurements and Printed it out again but the machine stopped working.
One of the hardest things about 3D Printing is getting the correct Measurements I had to adjust the measurements 5 times before I printed it out for the first time then I had to adjust the measurement after I printed out in the wrong size so I have changed the measurements 6 times.The reason getting the correct measurements is so hard is because you have to make it just bigger than the phone you are making the case for. Maybe next time I will make a Harry Potter themed phone case with the iconic Harry Potter glasses and the Lightning bolt scar.

ReplyDeleteWelcome to the summer learning journey for 2017. It’s great to have you join us. My name is Cadence and I will be working with your cluster this summer.
Wow! I am blown away by your 3D printing design. I would have loved the chance to do work like this at school! EPIC is a perfect way to describe the opportunity of working with such an impressive piece of technology. Was your design successful? Seems like you might have a wicked phone case now.
Could you add a phone of the 3D printer? That way other readers will know what a 3D printer looks like. Keep up the good work!
