What materials will you need for your project?
A 3D printer to build
What is your plan to create in this project?
A 3D printer
What unique qualities will your project have?
We're building something
Today we made the website and started the printer
Today we screwed in the motors
Today we added the base
Today we made the parts in the picture
Today we wired the parts and put them into place.
Today we attatched the parts together and did some wire work on the base.
Today we did more wiring and covered the wires.
Today we worked on the hotbed
Today we worked more on the heatbed and put the screws in this which took a lot of time
We did more with this
Today we combined the pieces
Today we spent most of the time fixing some past mistakes, then put this on the printer.
Today we fixed a ton of old problems and finished this
Today we finished attatching the heatbed to the printer and we started the next part.
Today we put more parts on this
Start of 8P4 - Today we added parts to the thing we worked on
Today we tried to wire the track
Today we finished most of this part
Todaay we put this on the assembly
Today we wired
Today we made this thing
Today we put the parts for the nozzle on.
Today we corded things.
Today we finished the chapter and added the frame
Today we did our reflection questions
Using a 3D printer kit, I created most of a 3D printer because it was a challenging project. We didn't finish it because we messed up a lot. We also used some zip ties from home, because we misplaced some.
During this process, I learned to take your time and read the instructions. I also learned how to assemble a complicated electronic kit. Another thing I learned is how important it is to stay organized.
The 7 standards of the class are EmpSowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Global collaborator because this website is shared to the world. My project also connects to Innovative Designer because I didn't google my problems.
A challenge I overcame on this project was misreading instructions. I was able to do it by fixing the mistakes we made. Another challenge was staying organized.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change how careful we were when reading instructions. The reason why I would change it is because there were a lot of mistakes. I would also change how organized we are.
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing. My project connects to the Engineering Design CTE program at Hastings High School. This is because we built this.
My project connects to careers in Electronic Equipment Assembling because they assemble electronic things like we are doing. This project also connects to Medical Device Assemblers. This is because they have to be careful while assembling, like us.
