This week’s assignments

design and 3D print an object (small, few cm) that could not be made subtractively
3D scan an object (and optionally print it)

3D Print

3D printer is a great for fast prototyping and they are right! (if you know how to use it)

Here is my battry tray replica for GUAI X3 RC helicopter.

The 3D model is designed in Fusion 360 which is a free cross-platform modelling software.

It is printed using Makerbot 2X with raft and support to protect the ABS from ‘curve’.

Compared to the original part, which cost £6.49 for 2.

And it fits perfectly!

3D Scan

The scanner that used in fab strathclyde is hand holded Sense 3D scanner, thus we decide to scan each other.

Here is the digital scan of me by Iain Chalmers test fitting my Iron Man helmet.

Bonus! My own minion! (hence the JC logo)
