Blog Intro: For this action project we created a chess set
as a class. We started by drawing what we thought a chess set would look like.
This then lead to us creating some rules and parameters around hoe large, tall,
and the stile of the peaces so are chess set would look like a more cohesive
chess set. After we had a solid idea of how we wanted to create are chess set
we went ahead and began making models out of different materials. For example
we created the knight peace out of card board, clay and then finally created it
on a 3D digital on line platform. We then took the file/stl file and sent it to
the Makerbot for 3D printing.
Collaboration P1: We drew are own interpolations of what a chess piece would look like, then we
all agreed on a few specific traits and incorporated them into are chess peace.
This allowed us to make one cohesive chess set.
Tinkercad.com and
Thingiverse.comP2: Then we took are final draft of sketches and turned
them in to 3D models using Tinkercad.com this then lead to us converting are 3D
models into stl files. This allowed us to upload the stl files to Thingiverse.com.
Once we uploaded are
123Dmake/
Cardboard P3: In the 123Dmake program allowed us to view a 3D Scan of
are image so that we could have the program cut our 3D model into slices. Once
we had altered are image I was able to print out a stencil for each slice and
cut it out of cardboard and resembled it to create a card model.
Clay P4: When creating are clay model we
had to measure each section of clay with an electronic ruler that gave us exact
measurements in mm. once we assembled the clay model I based my tinker cad
model off the measurements and look of the clay model
3D Printing Process : When we creating are 3D model I was able to upload my .stl file to a flash drive. We then took the flash drive and connected it with the hub mini 3D printer and an hour lader we had a 3D printed model of my chess peace.calculations
