Discussion

This Tutorial was fun and I learned a few things when doing it. I enjoyed creating and printing the object with a 3D printer. Unfortunately, the bottom plane on the part did not come out perfect. It seems as if the piece got shifted while printing for some reason. Will have to re print or try a different printer at another time. Looking forward to using more 3D printers in the future.
