Create Your Own Bottle Stopper with a Ready-to-Print Template Design and print your own unique bottle stopper by learning how to create basic shapes or complex designs in your preferred CAD software. Simply merge your design with our customizable stopper template. **Print Settings** * **Printer:** HICTOP Prusa I3 * **Rafts:** Doesn't Matter * **Supports:** No * **Resolution:** 0.2 * **Infill:** 10% * **Notes:** + Shell = 1.2mm + Bottom layer = 1.2mm **Post-Printing** Prototype Prints: Measure the size of different bottle openings with a series of prototype prints. How I Designed This Bottle Stopper My design process began with concept development, measurement taking, and iterative refinement. Here's how I created this innovative bottle stopper. First Steps: I started by measuring a standard bottle cap to determine its dimensions. Then, I reduced the size of the top and bottom to ensure a snug fit in various-sized bottle openings. Prototype 1: Cone-Shaped Design My initial prototype featured a cone shape that was sliced to the correct diameter. After several attempts, I discovered the optimal shape, size, and depth for my stopper design. Refining the Design: I made final adjustments to enhance the appearance of my stopper, incorporating a sleek jet design from Autodesk 123D Design's built-in library. I also experimented with combining triangles and cubes in creative ways. Project: Bottle Stopper **Project Details** * **Project Name:** Bottle Stopper * **Overview & Background:** Learn to design simple shapes or objects using CAD software like Autodesk 123D Design. * **Objectives:** + Create a basic shape or design to merge with the stopper template. * **Audiences:** + Beginners to CAD software + Secondary School Children (Years 9 to 11) [Aged 14-17] + College Students [Aged 17-20] * **Subjects:** ICT, Design and Technology * **Skills Learned (Standards):** Basic understanding of how to use CAD software. Lesson/Activity: 1. Watch a step-by-step video on using simple functions in Autodesk 123D Design. 2. Download the "Stopper V1" STL file and drag it into a new file. 3. Design your unique shape or object on top of the stopper template. 4. Showcase your finished design. **Duration:** 1-3 hours (depending on desired complexity) **Preparation:** * Download a CAD software like Autodesk 123D Design * Familiarize yourself with basic computer usage **Rubric & Assessment:** Students should successfully design and print a shape or object that can be placed on top of the stopper.
