VeggieMake: intro to 3D printing by ExploreMaking

Last crawled date: 4 years, 4 months ago

Students are given a VeggieMake (a toy that turns produce into a cute character) – but the pieces don’t attach to the produce. Therefore, students will have to design pins. This works well because it is an easy project with minimal emotional investment plus the small pins are fast to print and students can make changes quickly. It reinforces the idea that 3D printing is useful for quick prototyping and creative iterations.
The VeggieMake also encourages students to use ugly fruits and vegetables.
