1.) What did you find most difficult about the 3-D process?
During the 3-D Designing Process, I found out that a very critical aspect of fabrication is measurements. In most 3-D printing programs, I found that they utilize metric (millimeters) and not imperial (inches). Scaling within the initial program and design process is absolutely critical.
2.) What did you find successful about your piece?
Measurements aside, the actual piece was easy to recognize. Given that the piece was essentially a dog-tag, I was able to reuse the same basic shape to create two more versions.
3.) Explain your piece? What was you inspiration and how did you come up with it?
For the Data Chip Dog Tags, I drew inspiration straight from my favorite game series, Titanfall. The Protagonists and Antagonists of the story, the Titan Pilots, came in ten different generations. As a result, each generation of pilot has their own Data Chip. The Data Chips that I used in the picture are those of the Generation Ten Pilots. At the moment, I am currently revising the Generation 7 Pilot Data chip so that it can be sent off for printing. However, as always, measurements and layers play a huge role.
