Saturn Model
        Part of getting my degree in Digital Design and Graphics Technology and Mechanical Drafting Local Skills Certificate meant taking DDGT 130 Intro to 3D Printing. This class teaches to the basics of 3D printing and how to use Fusion 360. The class assigns three projects. Project #1 is to create a single piece model. Project #2 is to create multiple pieces that fit together. Project #3 is to create a single model with moving parts. I used this Saturn model for both my project #1 and project #2. Originally, this model of Saturn was one piece. I then separated the pieces and designed them to fit togther. The base and the ball connect together using a metal screw that I bought from a hardware store. The rings connect to the ball using jewelry wire and glue. The piture on the bottom left was printed in class and is made of ABS plastic. The other pictures show model that I printed myself with my own 3D printer. This print was good practice for me when it came to 3D printing and printing with supports. I pritned this on my Creality CR1 which is a super bare bones printer with little features. A printer like this was good for me to get the basics down and understanding the challenges of 3D printing like bed leveling and getting the temperature and flow rate right with the plastic. My new, fancy printer does all of that automatically. This model is made out of silk PLA which is why it's so shiny and I painted the letters and numbers with acrylic paint.
