Lib Post # 12: 3D Printing





The overall experience of learning about 3D printing was really interesting and fun. The Tinkerine courses about 3D printing helped me discover more about 3-D printing and it was great  reading the descriptions about it. My experience of printing a cat ring was successful and it  was great learning how to use a 3D printer.

At first, I was really confused at how to use the 3D printer, and had some difficulties with the 3D printing software. I asked friends to help me print the object I wanted to print, and from following her directions and the instruction booklet, my first attempt of 3D printing was successful. The cat ring I was printing took shorter than I thought it was going to take so I wasn’t able to take a video of the printing process unfortunately. The object I printed out fits fell on my fingers and I find it really cool. Friends that have seen it have thought it was very cute ,and interesting.


In conclusion the experience of  3D printer was really fun and cool. I would definitely print something from a 3D printer again. The tips of the cat ears were not really done too well because the edges of the ears were not as pointy. Other than that, the object I printed was really successful.
