Now that we have a 3D printer I have to start learning how to use 3D creation programs because there are a few projects that I would like to do. One of those projects is to create some Christmas Ornaments of the America’s Best Defense logo. I asked Sensei howard for some of the digital files of the logo and then I found a program on line called Shapr3D. With that program I was able to create a 3D printable file of the logo but when I went to export it to print on the 3D printer I found that I could only export a low quality file. In order to export a full resolution file I would need to have a pro account. Well, pro accounts are $300 a year and I’m sorry but I’m not paying for that. I looked at this closer and saw that for Students and Educators the program is free. I just needed a .edu email address. Well, no one in the house had one. Luckily, the program allowed us to upload a student ID as verification of being a student so I uploaded Eva’s id and now we wait 3-5 business days to see if it gets approved.

Multicolor filament is perfect for articulated 3D Prints and my favorite thing to print is dragons. There are so many dragon files and I found this one that is a Chinese luck dragon. When it printed it also printed with two large whiskers that are supposed to fit into holes on the nose. However, they did not fit so I didn’t bother to hang on to them. I love how cool this looks as it moves and the colors shift.
