I'm making a Saxons bookmark to sell in the Saxon Den. At first, my bookmark was too thin to print, and it wouldn't print very easily since it was standing straight up, so I had to go back and fix it.
This is my final bookmark after I went back and fixed it so it was able to be printed. I also made the letters thicker so they'd pop up out of the rectangle more and you'd be able to see them better and actually read what it says.
This is the 3D print of my design to sell in the Saxon Den. I think it's a pretty good size, it might be a little thick, but I think it'll still work good.
Using TinkerCad, I created a yellow Saxons bookmark to sell in the Saxon Den. I chose a bookmark because I feel like most people just fold their page over to mark what page they're on, but that ruins your book, and if you don't unfold your previous page well enough, you'll have multiple pages folded and won't know what page you're actually on.
During this process, I learned how to use TinkerCad and the 3D printer, and how one little mistake can cause you to have to redo the whole project, so you have to be really precise with your design.
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 designed and made the whole project myself, without much help, other than Mr. Renner telling me how I could fix it before printing it.
A challenge I overcame on this project was figuring out what size to make my print and I wasn’t sure how to make it thicker when it was too thin to print. I was able to do it by thinking of how big a normal bookmark is for the size, and made it a similar size, and when it was too thin, I just played around with controls until i figured out how to make it thinner.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the size of my product, I’d make it bigger, but thinner than it is now. I would change this because I feel like it might be a little too thick for a book, and it’s a little small area-wise.
This project connects to careers in inventing because this hasn’t been made before to my knowledge, and it would connect to marketing for high schoolers because it was made to be sold.
