(11/1) 3D Printing Project



For my 3D printing project, I worked with Nebular. We had decided to make an animal, namely a bunny. Initially, we tried to make a model with the pre-made shapes on Tinkercad but found this limiting. We looked at Thingspace of preexisting bunnies which were really detailed, but wanted to come up with our own unique design. We decided to try out importing an image from Google images of a bunny silhouette and used an online convertor to make it an svg. 

We then imported this file onto Tinkercad, and used the heart shape to cut out a heart shaped hole for it’s eye. The printing process was pretty straight forward, we downloaded it onto the Makerbot software and set it to the printer with Jessie’s help. This was a really fun collaboration and I’m happy with the result as its pretty cute!
