Reflection

• Using, 3D  printer, tinker cad, and computer I created a rag doll man. The reason I created this is because I wanted to use the 3d printer again. Another reason is I wanted something that would move and this would the easiest to make.

• During this process, I learned that you need to group the pieces together when you're printing. Another thing I learned is you need to clear off the mat well if your reprinting.

• 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 Empowered learner. The reason is because I set a goal to make the arms and legs move and I achieved it.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was getting the bottom hinge to print right. I was able to do it by cleaning the mat so it would form better. Another challenge I overcame was getting the legs to get on the hinge right and I was able to fix by sanding the pieces down which made it easier for the short hinge. 

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the size of the 3d print. The reason why I would change it is because it was small which made 3d printing a little difficult. Also I think it would look better if it was bigger.

• Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing.  My project connects to the engineering design CTE program at Hastings High School.  My project connects to careers in 3d printing.
