123D Tutorial: Nut And Bolt

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: This nut and bolt was by far my favorite part of the trimester and a fun learning tutorial. It was relaxing to put together all the pieces and it wasn’t too hard as well. My favorite part is how easily it can be done with such a complex design.
