Reflection Questions:
Using the Prusa Core One kit, I built a fully assembled Prusa Core One printer. I had to follow the instructions closely so that each part was put together the right way. It took patience to make sure everything fit exactly how it was supposed to.
During the build, I learned an important lesson: never over tighten anything. At one point, our belt shot off because we made it too tight. That showed me that being precise matters more than using a lot of force.
The seven class standards are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project connects the most to Knowledge Constructor. This is because we learned so much while building and figuring things out.
One challenge I overcame was when the belt came off during the build. To fix it, I took off the nextruder assembly and redid it carefully. I made sure everything was lined up correctly so it wouldn’t happen again.
If I could do this project again, I would change how organized I was. We lost a few screws during the build, which caused some stress. Luckily, we had extra ones so we could still finish.
Hastings High School’s Career and Technical Education Program includes Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing. My project connects best to the Engineering and Design program. That’s because it involved hands-on building and solving problems as we went.
My project also relates to careers in Mechanical Assembly. This is because we put together a 3D printer from separate parts just like mechanical assemblers do. It gave me a small look at what real manufacturing work is like.
