idea of what specifically I was going to print. \u00a0MY idea only calls for an object that is meaningful to me. \u00a0On Monday of week 8 I was exploring in TinkerCad and decided to see what would happen if I used the cookie cutter technique we used to make the french table leg, but with words instead of the shape of the table leg. \u00a0What this produced were objects that on one side show a letter, and have a different letter on a different side. \u00a0The result of this experiment is my final printed object. \u00a0Almost immediately after creating these letter object some of my classmates came over and asked me what I made and how I made it. \u00a0This accidental creation received awesome reactions that day, but the conversation I has with Katie about it stands out to me. \u00a0Katie was so excited about my discover and all of its possibilities. \u00a0I was struggling to decide what to print, but when I thought of my conversation with Katie, I felt good. \u00a0I realized that these letters fit the needs for my project perfectly. \u00a0These letters have no obvious use or purpose, but are meaningful to me. \u00a0Of course, in my conversation with Katie she suggested that I could turn these letters into a word puzzle, giving them a use. \u00a0I have discovered though that it would be impossible to create a useless object, at least for the purpose of this project. \u00a0If I create something to\u00a0<em>use<\/em> for my project, it is useful. \u00a0When I think of my letters, I feel good. \u00a0They have meaning to me. \u00a0Another aspect I had been thinking about was trying to create an object that is meaningful to only me. \u00a0I think this might be impossible as well, unless only I know of the object.<\/p>\n<p>At first once I had settled on this idea, I thought I would print a set of letters that spelled my name from one side, but all had the letter A on the other. \u00a0This turned out to not be as easy as I thought because one of the letter combinations seems to be impossible to print on a Makerbot without supports, at least working with the limitations of Tinkercad. \u00a0This wasn&#8217;t a problem for very long because I quickly decided to instead print a set of letters that from one side reads my first name, and from the other side my last name. \u00a0The only problem I ran into with this design was that my last name is one letter longer than my first name, so I had to add my middle initial to the end of my first name to make it even. \u00a0From there, I only had to turn some of the letter combos on their sides or upside down to ensure proper printing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Material Use: About 8g (0.02lb) Print Time: About 45 minutes 117 layers Dimensions: x- 51.6mm y- 35.91mm x-
