Week 5: 3D Printing + Creality Scans

This week was definitely more chill.

The assignment was to make something that would only be possible with a 3D printer.

Now my first idea was a ball bearing because that sounded like something cool.

However, I know that you can make it with other methods but prining it as one piece I don't believe you can do with subtractive manufacturing.

I started modeling the 3D bearing after a tutorial I found on YouTube.

Heres some pictures of the process.

I wanted to mess around with more things so I printed out a bass pick
- It looked cool but was not good when in use.

Also I tried to make a snake with the ball bearings but I think I let it cool to long and so I wasn't able to break it apart.


One was able to move, but that was it.






Finally I did the Creality Scan assignment.

I scanned my face and it did pretty okay.


However, when I tried to scan my water bottle it didn't do so good.

I think it tried to round out the handle on the top of the bottle giving it that final look.
