In class 3D printing working session
Each group will have the opportunity to print an initial design. Maximum printing time will be until 1st successful print or 30 minutes have elapsed. Groups may print additional designs if there is remaining time after each group has achieved one successful print.
Mert will review the design with the group and make any necessary adjustments.
Printing-order will correspond with group numbers. While you wait for your session you can work on a design as a team. Jennifer will review other groups' designs to ensure printability/ answer questions.
The first print will be a demonstration of how to set up the printer with a new tube AND how to remove the tube and swap it out for a new one once the print is complete.

Option 1: Create a functional mug or cup (or set of cups). Note that the design should aim to be water-tight (i.e. it includes a base)
Option 2: Create an abstract or sculptural object using generative approaches - See Mert's differential growth work.
