3D Printed Keychain

This is a project that I used with second and third grade students who were studying angles and lines.

Students used google draw to create their design.

Next we needed to convert the google draw file into an svg file. The direct download from google draw did not work so instead it was downloaded as a jpeg and converted using http://picsvg.com/

Using Tinkercad, students designed a base for the keychain.

After the base is created, students imported their image. The design could either be embossed or imprinted.

After the keychain is designed, it needs to be exported as an .stl file for the printer.

Lastly the .stl file is converted to the printer.

Students documented their process. See the video of some of the final projects.
