8P6-3D Printing

• Using TinkerCad and a 3D printer, I created an Elvis Presley Concert with no crowds because I wanted to do something more creative than just a pencil/toothbrush holder. So I was looking at different shapes, and I saw Elvis, so I decided to do a concert. The reason there is no crowd is because it was too much. I knew my teacher would not let me use another 3D printer. If I tried to put the crowd and everything else on the same 3D printer, it would not fit and it would be too much. Elvis and the stage already took 14 hours to make.

• During this process, I learned that there was more shapes than the normal ones, and by "normal" shapes I mean boxes, cylinders, sphere, scribbles, roof, cone, round roof, text, and everything else in the basic shapes category. If I knew there was more shapes than the basic ones, then I would not have made a toothbrush holder. I was going to make the dinosaur, but then I realized it was going to be too big and too much.

• 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 Innovative Designer because I created something that nobody else created. Another thing is Empowered Learner, because I could've created something with the basic shapes but I chose to learn about the different shapes in TinkerCad.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was the measurement, again. I was able to do it by using a ruler that was in the classroom and using Google to see how big 50 millimeters would be in centimeters, then I realized I do not need Google, I just need to know the length of millimeters and divide by 10 to get the length in centimeters. I was not sure to go big, or to go small, so I just typed in some numbers and turned it in.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change Elvis. The reason why I would change it is because when Elvis got printed, he had a bunch of print on him that I had the remove, and in the end, I accidentally removed the mic. And I could not remove some of the print that was on the back of the curtain.  If I had the chance, I would change everything to a living room, but I thought that it was going to take awhile and so I found Elvis.
