Week 1

The strength of the chains is very impressive, the chain can not be broken even when we use all of our strength to pull it. The chains are quite low quality as they have very few layers in it. You can visibly see the layers and is rigid. The objects are functional but not very complex. The grey cube with a sphere inside is a lot more complex and less rigid as there are far more layers and less space between the individual layers. The ball is perfectly made and very smooth. The white measuring device is very functional as it combines both degrees and length measurements. It is very complex as the slopes used to measure the angles are perfect.

Speed is a limitation as a 3D printer can only move so fast while still meeting the criteria of what it is programmed to print.  The faster the machine makes an object, the lower the resolution.The resolution is also a limitation as the lines can only be so thin as to create a object that will stay together and be functional. Size is also a limitation as the object made can only be as big as the plate. Integrity of the material also imposes limits on the objects made and what they can be used for as plastic can only handle so much stress.

    I think this blog is formatted very nicely. I think that a little more could have been added to the description/synopsis of the image. Overall the group achieved its objective in this post. Well done!

    I think you overall blog was very detailed and spot on with the observations. the picture and article is very interesting because it is the new up and coming in the medical field. it interests me because it is just starting to come out and already better that what we have now. interesting to see this in effect in 10 years when better tech ology has come out.

    Your observations about the "low quality as they have very few layers in it" was interesting because I too noticed the layers and also some pieces being hollow by using my flash light.

    I agree with the information posted in this blog. Also, I read the article attached to the image and i think it is great that functional prosthetics are being made, and being made cheaply. These prosthetics are helping many people who cannot afford the very expensive normal prosthetics. 3-D printing is a great alternative to normal prosthetics.

    I liked the picture, thank you. Good idea that you put a link to the photo.

    I like your design concept a lot, especially because there are no mechanical parts. Like Professor Kaya said, that was a good idea of linking the picture as well.

    thats a very good idea especially because you wouldn't have to charger the speaker in order to use it.
