This me uploading my design to the 3D printer. |
This the finished product (headphone hooks). |
A computer that I used to make my design.And the 3D printer (right). |
Before we 3D print anything we must use a website called Project Ignite to access Tinker Cad. With Tinker CAD you can make anything the only limit is your imagination. In Tinker CAD we design our creation using CAD. CAD stands for Computer Aided Design. Once we have finished our design (which can take hours) we export it as an STL file.
3D printing uses 100% plastic to print the object. It can come in different colours like blue green white and so on. Once the printer is warmed up we upload the STL file using the UP! software and print our design. Printing can take up to hours depending on the size of the object and the fill.
I really enjoyed designing the headphone hooks because it is so fun, there are no limitations YOU CAN LITERALLY MAKE ANYTHING WITH 3D PRINTING.
