  • Description: Adapt or modify an existing 3D model to meet a new constraint, improve functionality, or customize for a specific use.

Ideas and Concept

Original Model

  • Model name and source:
  • Link or file reference:
  • Why did you choose this model for adaptation?

Adaptation Goal

  • What problem or constraint are you addressing?
  • How will you know the adaptation is successful?
  • Who will use the adapted model?

Object Notes

Modifications Made

  • Describe changes to the original design:
  • Did you modify the model in OpenSCAD, slicer, or both?
  • Include before/after code snippets or screenshots:

User Testing (if applicable)

  • Who tested the adapted model?
  • What feedback did they provide?
  • How did this feedback influence your design?

Assembly and Use Notes

  • How is the adapted model assembled or used?
  • How does it differ from the original in use?
  • What challenges did you encounter?

Reflections

Design Evolution

  • Describe how your adaptation evolved through the iteration process
  • Which iteration felt most successful?

Lessons Learned

  • What did you learn about adapting existing designs?
  • What surprised you during the process?

Comparison: Original vs. Adapted

  • What are the key functional differences?
  • Would you recommend the adapted version? Why?

Future Iterations

  • If you were to continue developing this, what would you change?
  • How could you make the design more parametric or reusable?

Accessibility Considerations

  • How did you approach testing this project with screen readers?
  • What documentation would help someone without visual access understand the changes?

Attachments

  • Original model file (link or reference)
  • Adapted model file (.scad or .stl)
  • Code comparison (before/after with comments)
  • Photos of adapted print(s)
  • Iteration log with timestamps
  • User feedback notes (if applicable)
  • Slicer settings for final print
