3D Design 2: Precision Training & Creating first objects
Instructions
INTRODUCTION
To make sure pieces turn out as you expect them on the 3D printer, you need to very precise!
Use the precision measuring tool and detailed methods to create a precise object.
This will help you when you design your own objects later.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
CREATE THE BLOCK
Create a Lego Block that will snap with other blocks.
Measure an existing block to get exact dimensions
Crate one using accuracy, inferences, guides, copy and intersects to make sure it can snap together.
