Today, the group decided to meet up at 10am at uni to use the 3D printer to create our student sample response. Using Chloe and Rebekah’s sketch, it took about 20 minutes to get the 3D printer to connect to our printer, send our sketching through, use the correct programming and cutting our intended ‘seesaw’ prototype into half (the foundation block and the leverage with open semi-cylindrical shapes on either side) . Chloe and Rebekah sketched the product on a program called Tinkercad, which was not compatible with the XYZware 3D printer, so Rebekah attempted to download XYZware on her Macbook laptop which was unsuccessful. We then attempted again on Pascale’s HP laptop with the program XYZmaker, which was then successful. An additional 6 minutes was taken to send the sketches from Rebekah’s laptop to Pascale’s, and be sent through to the 3D printer. After the 3D printer has started making the product, everyone in the group was quite anxious about Pascale’s battery laptop and if it was going to last, and we were also not allowed to stay in the office in which the 3D printer was located in, due to the fact that the tutor whose office it belonged to was going to attend her tutorial, so for security reasons, we were not allowed to stay in the office unsupervised. When the tutor left their office, we stayed together to continue working on our allocated parts.Chloe worked on the site and activities, Ellisar worked on editing and referencing. Once we were able to come back into the office and retrieve our 3D product, we were amazed by the production. However, since Pascale’s battery was low, our attempts to download the same program onto Chloe’s HP laptop was unsuccessful. So we decided to include just what the group and 3D printer have produced and work on the rest of the assignment. By the end of the day (literally) we have finished our assignment!
