Object
This is a picture of object before i edited it, i was going to sand down the neck because there were little strings everywhere.
Editing
This is a picture of me editing my object, I had to cut the neck and sand it down so it wasn't quite as messy.
Weighing
This is a picture of my object being weighed, it weighed 11.6 grams.
My object
My object was 11.6 grams and it was and iron man helmet, and with our 3D printer it didn't turn out quite how it should have the neck was a little messed up but it wasn't bad. I would say that I'm proud of my object because for me I pretty much just created this from nothing, I made an idea into an object others could use. I would say that the most interesting thing about this is just the idea its self creating something from nothing. I learned how to use Makerbot replicator 2.0 and how to 3D print
Why would you use this
This was very efficient and very quick it took me 3 hours to set up but that is because it is my first time but the printing took about 45 minutes depending on the object. I chose the design I did because there were a lot of iron man movies and it just shows what is to come in our future. Possible customers would be to the new generation or to adults who have kids.
Challenges
The challenges is faced were that the neck didn't print correctly it wasn't unfix-able but it wasn't perfect. I over came this challenge by cutting the lose strings and sanded it down so it looked better. One thign that I would change is the neck I would sand it down a little bit because there were alot of stings that needed to be cut.
