The squares will be burned by the Glowforge and the pieces we're designed by us.
Day 1- Me and Grady started to design the pieces and work on are website.
Day 2- We kept designing the pieces.
Day 3- We finished halve the pieces and I started working on the actual board.
Day 4-I finished the board design and worked on my website.
Day 5- Grady worked on the pieces and I was gone.
Day 6- We made a mistake when printing and only printed the horses.
Day 7-
The horses.
The designs of the rest of the pieces.
The laser cutter design for the chess board.
Video of the laser cutter lasering my chess board.
Using Glowforge, I created a chess board because I wanted to see how hard it was to make a bard game.
During this process, I learned how to use Glowforge and Tinkercad.
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 Computational Thinker because I used my resources to help make and fix problems I had while designing my board and pieces.
A challenge I overcame on this project was making the pieces. I was able to do it by putting multipole shapes together to make it look like the piece.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change when we print we group them so they all print. The reason why I would change it is because it didn't print all of them.
