The 3D Printer is a tool with extraordinary versatility. This workshop will focus the printer’s power to assist you in precision engineering.
Bubble Wand
Brainstorm as a group to sort the directions you might pursue. Research then draw and print a wand. Take it outside to test it. You will be surprised at what it takes to design a good one.
Propeller
Consider options. Print a propeller to fit onto a 2mm shaft. Fit it to a motor. Attach to a foam block. Fit and attach a rudder. Take it to the waterlab to test it.
Helicopter
Make a helicopter shaft that can hold two playing cards as rotors. Take it outside to the Drop Tower to test it. Then redesign it. It takes time to get it right.
That's just 3 of the 10 challenges you will choose from to refine your design and printing skills this week.
