Personal Project: Heart Attack

This blog post is unrelated to any class work that will be assessed and graded, this is a personal project I have been working on in my spare time. Since Christmas is approaching I found myself wondering what gifts I should give to my friends and family. I thought it would be interesting if I were to bring to life one of my objects created in this class, I ended up choosing my "Heart Attack" design from the thingiverse mashup project. I did this because I thought the design had lots of character and humour to it and would make a great gift.

I ended up visiting a 3D printing lab on the ACAD campus, which Bryan Cera, my OBDF professor introduced me to. The staff were more than happy to help me in printing my design. The total printing time was around four or more hours, but the final product was extremely detail. The actual size of the printed model was around 4.5 inches wide and 3 to 4 inches tall, the perfect size for on a desk.

Overall I am extremely happy with the final product as it came out exactly as I had wanted. I look forward to working with 3D printers again in the future for personal projects.

Will add pictures of the actual model later today as I do not currently have access to a camera
