Final
Today was the day that I finally got to print my design! I was very excited to see how it was going to turn out. After Calculus I got the chance to talk to Mrs. Vestal to see if I could print, she said yes and we were off to go turn on the printer and get it warmed up. We had some minor difficulties with getting the design to print, mainly because of the type of file that was associated with the design. I fixed the file type, put it onto a usb and then finally I was off to go print!
I would like to remind you of the design that was created.
I thought the design looked very pretty, and it certainly did look okay. But there was a problem that I first thought off in the beginning. The way the wings were suspended above the ground. It certainly was an issue....
When we pressed start the print was off. It looked very beautiful.
It was looking like amazing progress. Unfortunately I was right about the wings. I saw where the printer took the wrong turn and so I left so I could be surprised by the outcome and trust me... I was.
Even though it wasn't exactly like my final design, not even similar in fact, I'm still very proud of the first thing I have designed for the 3-D printer. If I were to do it again I would have done what Mrs. Vestal told me after my final print... To keep it simple. But we live and we learn :)
