Laser Cut
Coaster
Machine during cut
My first attempt was a dragon and chair.
I asked for a feedback from our instructor, his advice was to change to a more simple model.
I changed from a dragon to a Avengers' medal.
I changed from a chair "3 assembled pieces" to a coaster.
He suggested a simple model as a start in both 3D printing and Laser cutting in this phase "focus on the concept of work and methodology ".
Other peers helped by showing their output in Eureka-Media.
Mistakes:
choosing a very slim model with slim details that required a lot of supports that would affect the final finish quality.
Showing my files to the instructor before fabricating really helped understand more the purpose of task .
Research:
Finding free STL file that fit technical requirements.
understanding supports concept.
Keep the structure Simple
Balance between the consumed material, your design details and quality.
Exploring different STL files for different characters
Analyzing any shape whether it needs support of brim
Watching megaphone pavilion
The pavilion’s façade will display up to three eight-metre-high faces at a time for a period of 20 seconds each, and anyone visiting the games can participate by visiting the 3D photo booths within the pavilion and having their face digitally scanned.
