Part 1: Eric was the first to ask the important question for adding LEDs to your 3d prints, “What should we add for tolerance?”  I said “Nothing”.

And I was wrong. 

Example: the green LED measured out at 4.6mm for the small diameter and 5.4mm for the base.  I changed the measurements to 5.1mm and 6.1mm to get a good fit.   I should have thought first.

Part 2: Intro to SculptGL – 3d sculpting tool.  We will learn the basics of SculptGL, make a face, import into Tinkercad and add holes for LEDs.

We are going to continue to refine our skills around measurement and accuracy.  It’s worth it.

3d printed cargo ships – I continue to print as I get working designs that are printable.
Ship design revisions due today:
Quinn Wyatt – the individual parts are so far apart they can’t be printed.  There are also parts that may not be part of your ship design.
Tristan Logan – resize boat and make separate cargo holder.

Marble Tracks 
Logan – finish glueing
Alder -test last version

Fresh assignment – box with magnetic lid.
