11_1 3D Printed Earrings











Overall experience was exciting and fun. The model making portion was a fun process. After Sophia and I decided to replicate "hammer marks" for our earrings, I browsed through the shapes available on tinkercad and found the two semicircles attached together. Then using the sphere shape and turning them into "holes", I was able to make the hammer marks. But even settling on the shape, I explored various of shapes and thought about how it would function when someone is wearings it (like thinking about if it is too wide or too big to be earrings). Then after we had our models, we went into Thingspace and with the help from Andrew, we were able to see our earrings come to life. It was so exciting to see the 3d model on screen and then being able to see and hold it when it came out of the 3d printer.
