Planning Questions

Are you working by yourself or in a team?

By myself

What materials will you need for your project?

A computer and tinkercad

What is your plan to create in this project?

A psa graded slab holder

What unique qualities will your project have?

The project is off me not having a place to put my graded slab so this would help me. Instead of me just doing this project for a grade.

Day 1

I did my 10 good ideas and my planning questions

Day 2

I forgot to measure the lengths of the card, so I made a representation of part of the holder.

Day 3

I got the lengths and messed around with the top part to make it fit.

Day 4

I finally found out what I needed to do to make it look better.

Day 5

I added the same thing on the bottom.

Day 6

I added a little back part to hold the display holder up.

Using Tinkercad, I created a PSA graded slab holder for Pokémon cards because I didn’t have a display holder for my graded card. This project was useful to me because it allowed me to display my card in a clean and organized way. During this process, I also learned how to create a 3D print using Tinkercad.

This project connects to the Empowered Learner standard because I faced challenges and made mistakes along the way. Instead of giving up, I continued working through the problems and learning from them. This helped me improve my skills and become more confident in using Tinkercad.

One challenge I faced was creating the top part of the holder. I struggled to make it the right size and angle so that it looked good and functioned properly. I overcame this by staying calm and carefully thinking through possible solutions.

To solve the problem, I adjusted my design multiple times until it fit correctly. I paid attention to how the angles and measurements affected the overall look. Eventually, I was able to create a top piece that worked well with the rest of the holder.

If I were to do this project again, I would change how I gathered measurements for the graded card. Instead of measuring it myself, I could have looked up the exact dimensions online. This would have saved me time and allowed me to focus more on improving the design.

This project connects to the Hastings High School Career and Technical Education program, specifically Engineering Design. I used creativity and problem-solving skills to develop a functional and visually appealing product. I also had to meet specific size requirements to ensure the holder worked properly.

My project also connects to careers such as 3D designers, CAD modelers, biomedical engineers, and manufacturing technicians. These careers involve designing and creating objects using technology similar to what I used in this project. Through this experience, I gained a better understanding of how 3D printing relates to real-world jobs.
