Fujita Scale: 3D Design Challenge

prusaprinters

<p>The Fujita Scale 3D Design Challenge is to create a series of 3D printable models that illustrate the categories of tornado damage from F0-F5. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujita_scale">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujita_scale</a></p> <p>Entries will be judged on 3 Criteria:</p> <p>-Accuracy: Do the models accurately represent the Fujita Scale categories? ie. Would the majority of meteorologists or engineers in the field agree with the classifications?</p> <p>-Realism: Do the models show realistic man made structures and vegetation?</p> <p>-Printability: Can the models be printed on the majority of consumer FDM printers?</p> <p>-Bonus Category: Description of design process, the models and/or tornado info.</p> <p>Prize: 3D Design Champion card. Physical card mailed within US. Digital card for international winners. Designs received before 4/30/21014 and linked as a remix of this thing will be considered.</p> <p>More info about the origins of this challenge and the designs from a 2013 STEM camp can be found at <a href="http://designmaketeach.com/2014/04/14/fujita-scale-3d-design-challenge/">http://designmaketeach.com/2014/04/14/fujita-scale-3d-design-challenge/</a></p> <p>Original Tinkercad models: <a href="https://tinkercad.com/things/3JHoOWTLGye">https://tinkercad.com/things/3JHoOWTLGye</a>, <a href="https://tinkercad.com/things/6kU0cGT6lyH">https://tinkercad.com/things/6kU0cGT6lyH</a>, <a href="https://tinkercad.com/things/gbTjfEmgltn">https://tinkercad.com/things/gbTjfEmgltn</a>, <a href="https://tinkercad.com/things/d1h35EWYjz4">https://tinkercad.com/things/d1h35EWYjz4</a>, <a href="https://tinkercad.com/things/4kWdsjxHrF4">https://tinkercad.com/things/4kWdsjxHrF4</a></p> <p>Please leave a comment or contact me on Twitter @DesignMakeTeach or on Facebook at Facebook.com/DesignMakeTeach.
