Learning our 3D printer (3DA)

Learning how to use 3DA has been a challenging, yet fun experience. To start off with, we have printed out small cubes to help us learn how the machine actually works, and what can go wrong.

So far we have created a small Lego action figure, and a small kitten as our more advanced shaped objects.

A roadblock we keep on facing is an error that occurs with 3DA that makes the extruder bump into the object, which causes the shape of the object to be ruined. You can see an example of this with the far right object on the image above.
