3D PRINTED HOLLOW FORM OBJECT: THE HYBRID

 

For our last project we were told to create a hybrid design inspired by one design from my classmate Sophia and one of mine. As a final outcome we created a Candle holder.

The two Designs we chosen from a total of 12 designs; 6 from Sophia and 6 of mine.

Creating this Candle Holder was fun. We found that we shared similar twist shapes that matches our designs. 

 

Problem Solving

While combining the two designs, we found some problems with the final piece when being transfer to PrusaSlicer. As shown in the picture, some of the pillars we created to support the upper structure came out of the base, making it not printable. However, after asking the teacher for help, we realized that the bottom and upper parts were not completely connected. The teacher helps us combine these two structures into a more solid form to be printable.

Overall the design meets its functionality and looks amazing!
