Part 3: Projects

Now that we understand 3D printers and 3D design, let's start to create some objects of our own. Our projects will start off with a simple 3D printed name badge before we introduce more advanced design concepts to build a riser for our laptop. We will increase the complexity by creating a model rocket from scratch, building it around a paper tube from a roll of paper towels.

In this part, we cover the following chapters:

  • Chapter 7, Creating a 3D-Printed Name Badge
  • Chapter 8, Designing and Printing a Laptop Stand
  • Chapter 9, Designing and Printing a Model Rocket
