Stereolithography Project Process

When I heard about an opportunity to use a 3-D printer I really wanted to do a project on it. I had a one week time restriction to get a model in. I decided to make a custom lego figure of "Uncle Scrooge". I was stressed during this week, but I managed to get the model in. The first day I had looked for the dimensions of a lego figure, but to no avail. I then came across LEO CAD. This was a CAD program with all of lego's bricks and parts in scale dimensions. The rest of the week I worked on the model. As I mentioned, I got it in on time, but at some point the printer got jammed before my project could print. I was disappointed, but I just kept working on my previous project. The next week I worked on the proposal, and when everyone was done we got into groups and pitched our ideas. I liked this because it was not just the teacher giving tips, it was also other students. After that process I started working on researching. I managed to find most of the research I was looking for. The thing I couldn't find was how 3-D printers have evolved. I even found a video where CNN interviews the inventor.  The last week of my project I planned the order I will present what I did. I also practiced my "Blender" tutorial.
