Maker ED: 3D Printing

3D Printed Hidden Leaf Village Headband


The base of the model is being constructed in this picture. A good base and a good foundation are necessary for a model to have good durability.



Finishing touches of the model are being done. The top is smoothed out and the finer details are made.

From learning about 3D printing to the actual execution, the experience was interesting and taught me a lot. I had initially failed my first 3D printing and ended the printing early. Some of the plastic didn't melt properly and had dragged along, creating an unstable base. The second time around, it worked better. I made sure everything was set up properly. The 3D printing process itself was quite interesting. I got to understand how the 3D printer worked and how the printer decides what to do.

Overall, 3D printing was a lot of fun. It was intriguing to see something that was just a model on a computer screen actually get printed out in front of my eyes.

Book Shopping!

Ten books the learning commons currently does not have: Bone. [1], Out from Boneville - Jeff Smith  This is a book I've read before and a series which I believe is particularly interesting. This book should be purchased because although the learning commons has varying parts of the book series, it does not have this one, the forefront of the series. Philosophy. - Kevin Perry  In the learning commons, there aren't many comprehensive texts on philosophy and the inward contents of philosophy. Much of the information is convoluted and limited to certain niches. This book should be purchased so that if wanted, a reader can get a wider scope on the topic of philosophy. This is a book I'd personally like to see in the learning commons. They Both Die At The End - Adam Silvera "They Both Die At The End" is a slice of life book which puts us through the perspective of a pair of friends who live their last day together. This book is directed toward teens and envi...

What  “type” of project would it be best suited for (essay, class presentation, group work…)? This Web 2.0 tool would be suited for group work as it allows multiple users to collaborate on a single whiteboard. Due to the way this tool is structured, it seems as if this tool could be useful for a collaborated  art project. How do you use it?   The tool is used for simple drawings. You simply give the link to the room you're in to whoever you're working with and you can collaborate on a single online whiteboard.   Create a “sample” project. I drew an image of one of the computers in the learning commons. Create a tutorial or instructions for student:   Go ...
