Week 1 Cont.

Our first object is shin guards used to protect your shins when you play soccer.  Our next object is a bottle opener used to open bottles. Cupholder used to put your mug or cup into.  We chose the shin guard because we thought it would be the most practical. It will firm and sturdy and will help a soccer player for protection. This would be very practical because it is not an object that has a lot of parts to it. It is not too complicated to make, and when you make a 3D print of a shin guard, it will be simple, and sturdy, and more useful than other objects. It is also practical because it does not need straps or anything to stay on your leg, it will just slide into your sock. It is just one solid object.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY8Sk219AoY

week 1

The quality of the prints is kind of sloppy. The chains are strong when you pull them but if you twist them they will break easily. Although the objects do not have the best quality, the functionality of them is still good. Considering it comes out of a printer, they are very strong, and can function just as good as if you created them with your hands. They look very complex because it looks as though they have different layers to them. On a 3D printer, resolution and speed can be at odds with one another because if the printer is working at a very high speed, the quality and resolution could be lower than if it was working at a slower speed. This is why the 3D printer has limitations, because if you would like it to work fast, you have to give up some of the objects quality.
