Making Chess Pieces

In unit 2 of my Rapid Prototyping class at GCE, we talked more about 3D printing and how to compare that process to making something by hand. For this AP, we were asked to model chess piece of our choice after the top part of that piece in Tinkercad. After that we modeled the object in clay, cardboard and finally 3D printed the model. In the slideshow I made, I compare my experiences with each of the methods. One thing I am proud of is my cardboard model because of how intricate and small the pieces were. Some struggles I had was with the 3D printers because we had a lot of trouble with the filament and a few misprints.
