Using a 3D printer, I created A gear that has 6065 in the middle of it for my cousin for Christmas because he made one for me when he was in robotics.

During this process, I learned how to use a 3D printer website.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Computational Thinker because I created a model of the gear that my cousin made me.

A challenge I overcame on this project was figuring out were to put the key chain hole. I was able to do it by making the teeth bigger to fit the hole nicely.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the kind of gear. The reason why I would change it is because I found the gear that my cousin used to make mine.
