Are you working by yourself or in a team?
I will be working by myself
What materials will you need for your project?
Tinkercad and a 3D printer.
What is your plan to create in this project?
To create a security box for my important things.
What unique qualities will your project have?
This box will be mine and I will be the only one to use it.
1 Security box for my stuff
2 An extra folder for my papers
3 GPS tracker
4 Pencil grip to reduce cramps
5 Bookmarks to keep track of my page
6 A new wallet
7 sunglasses
8 A lock to keep my important things secured.
9 A turtle friend to put on my desk
10 Bigger trapper keeper for my school stuff
Answering planning questions and a list of 10 good ideas.
Started on my 3D printing .
Added a piece to start the lock process.
Starting to build a lock on the lock box.
Adding my name and almost finished with my project.
Turning in my completed project of my 3D print.
Using Tinkercad, CoSpaces, and a 3D printing machine, I designed and created a lockbox to keep my important items safe. I often lose things like my wallet and phone, so this project was a practical solution to help me stay organized and prevent misplacing essential belongings.
During this process, I learned how to find and create STL files, which are essential for 3D printing. I also gained experience in correctly grouping objects and preparing them for printing, ensuring the final product was functional and well-designed.
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 global collaborator because my website will be shared with people around the world.
A challenge I overcame during this project was getting the elements to the correct length and angle. I addressed this by carefully adjusting the size of each component, increasing and decreasing measurements until everything fit perfectly.
If I had the chance to do this project again, I would change the placement of the lock on the box. The way I positioned it initially took up valuable space, making it difficult to store my important items.
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 and design CTE program at Hastings High School.
My project connects to careers in 3D CAD modeling because this field relies on 3D printing to create models of various objects. By using 3D printing in my project, I gained hands-on experience with the process, which is a key skill in 3D CAD modeling.
