Glasses Frames H: 2.5 inches L: 6.14 inches Ear Rods: H: 0.6 inches L: 5.3 inches

I have yet to print my project, but am greatly excited about the progress that I’ve made, and the things that I have learned. I feel capable to freely print anything I might desire in 3D, granted there is a purpose for it. The glasses frames that I’ve designed will be utilized and I will perfect them until they make me feel they are done.

Having glasses frames as my project is empowering because I feel like I have total control on what I want them to look like. If I see something I don’t like in the frames that I’ve printed, I can easily come back to Tinkercad and fix whatever I found that didn’t work well. If I want a different color of frames, I could go and do that with a couple of clicks.

Although Tinkercad is a great resource, I find it slightly grim with the shapes that you can use. If I could have designed my own shapes, I feel I could’ve made my frames much more personal, and shape them how I felt suited best, without having to work around different constraints. Alas, my project will survive, and will turn out just fine for my first try, I believe.

I’ve learned that glasses frames can be a great resource for changing your mindset. If you’re sad, put on a pair of bright red funky glasses, go big or go home. If you’re feeling shy, slap on your nerdy black glasses. Researching this topic has taught me many things about people and why they choose to wear the frames they do.

I’m excited to keep advancing in the things that I’m doing, and hopefully have little errors in able to ensure that I waste as little PLA as possible.
