'''The 3d printed Zoetrope''' | '''The 3d printed Zoetrope''' | ||
After the cardboard prototype was functioning, we started to print parts of it in 3d. Unfortunately we underestimated the time we needed for troubleshooting and the printing procedure itself. After several approaches of printing large parts with ABS material, we switched to PLA and were able to create the first parts of the zoetrope. Due to the huge amount of the time that the printing of large objects needs, we haven't finished the zoetrope yet. (E.g. the cap of the zoetrope needs approx. 8-12hours of printing, depending on the material and settings - and it isn't the biggest part) The parts of the zoetrope that are already printed are: the cap and the LED-Lamp Holder. | After the cardboard prototype was functioning, we started to print parts of it in 3d.
