- Description: Create scaled variants of a design to explore parametric thinking and manufacturing trade-offs.
Design Concept
- Base design name and description:
- Why did you choose this design?
- How will you generate variants parametrically?
Variant Specifications
| Variant | Scale | Print Time (est.) | Filament (est.) | Key Dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v1 | ||||
| v2 | ||||
| v3 |
Print Results
| Variant | Actual Print Time | Actual Filament | Quality | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v1 | ||||
| v2 | ||||
| v3 |
Analysis and Reflections
- Which variant is most efficient (time/material ratio)?
- How did scaling affect print quality?
- What trade-offs did you observe (speed vs. quality, material vs. time)?
- If you made a fourth variant, what would it be and why?
