"Broken Printer" creative writing project

prusaprinters

This is my digital artifact for creative writing. I created the design in TinkerCad, an online 3D modeling software. I feel like the print is not only a piece of art, but it is a torture test for 3D printers; It tests overhangs, bridging, and embossed text. I feel like this reflects the narrative of the poem "Broken Printer". The printer is tortured, but the print succeeds in the end. The image I created is right when the printer is knocked on the floor while printing. The hardest part was finding the right lines to put on the piece. I ended up choosing two different lines, the first is when the printer is knocked on the floor and the second is the last line of the poem. I thought those would be the best for my print because it describes what happened to the printer, things get crazy but there is hope in the end. Just like the torture test aspect of my design. I also have another version that is more cartoony (white print in photos). This version is based on my line of cartoon 3D printer characters and I felt like it might fit the poem's storyline because I feel like the poem is more whimsical than somber Category: Sculptures
