7PIX - 3D Printer

Reflection

• Using tinkercad, I created an alive pyramid because it is an original idea. I made him have flippers and two hands. It also was given an elegant mustache.

• During this process, I learned how to send a project to the printer. I also learned how to properly move the screen. This helped me properly move objects and align them with the pyramid.

• 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 because I had to learn many things to properly complete it. Like being able to move the screen around the triangle right and to lock objects in their place.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was being able to make my project small enough to print. I was able to do it by changing the dimensions of the pyramid. I also had to send it as a file twice because it would not load my changes which I solved by saving it again.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the design. The reason why I would change it is because I think I could have added more to the 3d design. Actual arms and legs would be an example.
