For 3D Printing, I have chosen Baby Groot to be my model for this assignment as it caught my attention as a Marvel's fan while looking for a model on thingverse.
For Laser Cutting, I have chosen a keychain for an Airplane as shown from 3axis.com.

For 3D Printing
The main challenge is keeping the fabrication time within the available time frame of 90 min without compromising printing quality.
The solution for this is by playing around with the printing parameters like (Infill, Supports, Layer Height, Scaling)
