Locking Container
What settings do you think should be adjustable when printing a 3D object?
1. Set up an EddyCal account by going to www.edusync.us and entering the code: K354FQ3
2. Then open Makerbot Desktop and raise your hand when the software asks you to "Allow Use".
3. Embed your initials into your lid BEFORE loading the design into Makerbot Desktop.
Over the next 2 classes, we'll create a locking container that we can print. Do you like secrets? Lock 'em inside!

Layer Height
(Defined) The height of each layer of your print. This is also called the resolution.
What happens to the quality of the print as layer height decreases? Increases?
Infill
(Defined) The material inside of the design (ie. below the surface).
What is a benefit to increasing the infill density? what is a disadvantage of increasing it?
Shells
(Defined) The thickness (by number of layers) of the surface of a model.
Must you increase the number of shells to have a durable print?
If not, what else could you change?
