Nut & Bolt
Description: Students will follow the step by step 123d Design Nut and Bolt tutorial (using headphones) to gain more thorough tool use and application. Students may consult each other in small groups while completing this tutorial exercise. Students will export their finished Nuts and Bolts as two separate .stl files and put the in the printer queue for printing. Individual files will be placed on the same printer build plate so they are printed at the same time. Screen shots (at least 2 perspectives) will be included in their ePortfolio assignment page, along with 2 pictures of the printed piece. Estimated time to completion – 3 class sessions.
Reflection: I thought this was not such a challenging assignment, but the problem was that 123D Design kept freezing, loging out by itself, not saving, and it sometimes it made it unable to open it. And because of all of those reasons, I had to start all over again 4 times! But I thought this was a really cool and fun assignment.
