Stretchy Bracelet
There is more that can be done to make cool 3D prints than just modeling. Settings on
the slicer can create post-processing effects that can alter the final version of a print.
The modeling in this project will be simple and should be nothing new at this point.
Instead, the focus will be on the printing process. A bracelet that takes advantage of
plastic's natural elasticity is a perfect example for this project.
Modeling the bracelet
It should only take a few minutes to model the bracelet, but don't worry about
making it hollow. That will be accomplished with the post-processing. Instead, just
make sure the top and bottom are flat for this to work. Perform the following steps
for modeling the bracelet:
1.
As usual begin the new project by clearing the scene and saving it in a new
directory under
MakerbotBlueprints
.
