3D Printing

Based on the videos we watched I think I know how 3D Printing works.

step 1:
Make a model of whatever you want to print on a website that allows you to do that. You should do this on a computer.

step 2:
Design you own models. You can design whatever you want that starts with a basic shape. I think if I ever want to do something like this I’m gonna make a heart.

step 3:
Now you can print whatever you designed. The printer takes warmed Filament and started to create your model filling in the shapes until it is all done.

I am so happy I learned how to do this because I think it is so cool how we can do this.

 

Timber Wood

From the 4 videos I watched about cutting down the trees, I have realized how different it is now vs in the 1900’s. Nowadays people use machines to cut and tear down trees. Back in the 1900’s, people had to hand cut it. People called toppers would literally climb to the top of a tree and slice the top of. Once that was done if it was a large tree, people would use cables and wires to help cut it down. If it wasn’t to big of a tree. Men would hand cut it until it was about to fall. When it was about to fall they would run away just to make sure nothing hits them. I feel like this is suben brave but also super reckless and I’m glad most people don’t do it that way anymore. I have realized how much technology has helped even if it means to simply cut down tress and slice up wood.
