Camera (Instagram Logo) Model #1

thingiverse

This is a 3D interpretation of the original Instagram logo, created using DesignSpark Mechanical for the first time. I thought it would be exciting to share this design with everyone! As a bonus, it also functions as a 3D camera model in disguise. I used Tinkercad to create this model, and I'm impressed with how well it turned out. Here are some print settings: Printer: XYZ Da Vinci Jr 1.0 Rafts: Doesn't matter at all Supports: No extra help needed Resolution: A precise 0.2 mm Infill: 25% for a strong yet lightweight result Notes: The top left corner required a bit of sanding, but other than that, the print was excellent. I used a honeycomb infill pattern with no supports to create a sturdy base. If you want a stand for it, you can print a raft, but it stands perfectly on its own. Designing This Creation My First DesignSpark Masterpiece This was my first time using DesignSpark to create a 3D model, and I followed their camera tutorial to get started. Then, I added some personal touches to turn it into the original Instagram logo. As someone without formal CAD training, I found DesignSpark to be incredibly user-friendly and easy to navigate. Compared to Tinkercad, DesignSpark offers much more control over your creations, making it a great choice when you're ready for more advanced features. Plus, it's an open-source program that allows you to import 3D models from top companies like 3M – a definite bonus!
