Fabrication Final


This is my mousepad and I made this pokeball for vijay.
As I maintained in class, 3D printing is a great concept, and I love the idea. I ordered this mousepad for 12.90 and it was pretty cheap. For example, 3D printing this mousepad without color and it being 6 inches cost around 10. This is  expensive but there is  a way on this planet can anyone justify paying that kind of price for such an object, especially when you could just pay for it online from a manufacturer, even the official one. Though I cannot figure out why such an object costs so much, I decided it would be much better to just build it in class by Vijay but I also ordered it online.

I understand how detailed drawings must be for computers to understand your object, as Austyn puts it, "Humans can infer, computers cannot."  I also understand the importance of a good CAD file. 

My constraints for this were atleast 8x10 but it could go lower. 

Vijay made a pretty dank mousepad for me at it was nice.
