This is one of a series of educational displays I made for the Arcade Library in Sacramento to help teach people about 3D printing.
It can be difficult to explain important 3D printing concepts like infill percentage, shells, resolution, and the need for supports.
Sometimes all you need is a visual aid to make things click.
This is a infill display that shows the effect of different infill percent settings. A one inch cube is printed fifteen times with various settings. Cubes with 0-20 percent infill are on the first row and then 25-50% infill are on the next row followed by 60-100% on the top row. It is easy to see how the infill percentage effects a print.
See the instructions for details on how to make this display for your classroom, or anywhere else it will be useful.
I've also included the SketchUp files if you would like to make changes.
