3D Pen 6-8 Session 2

Why trace panels before building 3D shapes?

• For decoration

• For accuracy and strength

• To use more filament

• To save time

What do you do if your seam is weak?

• Add more filament for reinforcement

• Ignore it

• Bend harder

• Use less material

What does the PAUSE signal mean?

• Pens on stands, hands off, eyes up

• Change shapes

• Start cleanup

Why do 3D shapes often collapse?

• Weak seams/panels

• Not enough color

• Too much supervision

How can you decorate your solid while keeping it strong?

• Use thick lines for initials/patterns

• Make thin, fragile holes

• Cut sides away
