8P2 - 3D

Day 1: I messed around with tinkercad

Day 2: I tried out some of my ideas

Day 3: I chose my project and created it

Day 4: I did my reflection

Day 5: My print finished and I assembled my holster and then made my video

• Using TinkerCad and a 3D printer, I created a sword and holster because I thought it would be interesting. I enjoyed this project because it was fun to build and size a holster for the sword.  However, It was slightly difficult to make sure the holster was the right size.

• During this process, I learned how to use TinkerCad to match the holster size to fit the sword. The easiest part of my project was building the holster. The hardest part of my project was making sure there wasn't much fill material.

• 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 discovered a new way to make the holster without using fill material.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was making it so I used minimal fill material. I was able to do it by separating the top of the holster from the rest. I did this because it was the most resourceful and efficient way.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change the fit of the sword in the holster. The reason why I would change it is that the holster is very loose. I would change this by making the holster a little smaller.
