3D Print Excercise

 This is my 3D printing exercise, where I have decided to print out this vessel. I was generally curious to see how my model would fabricate in real life, as my expectations were something rather 'rough.' Unlike resin printing, I figured that there are going to be imperfections within the print as well as high-fail points that do not have supports.

I then exported the file from rhino as an .stl, then imported it into PrusaSlicer, where I began to resize the vessel into a more appropriate size for the assignment requirements. 

Using the suggested settings of PLA filament, 0.2mm layer height, and a 5% infil, I was able to slice the model and successfully export the Gcode into a USB, ready for print.

Here is a recorded demo of how the printer will behave during the fabrication process.

And the full, fabricated product of the vessel.

Overall, my expectations were met with the quality of a drafted print. I notice small imperfections within the surface and even some uneven filament near the top. I believe this is best fixed by returning to the actual 3D model itself to address any issues with the digital object. For my project, I will have to be cautious about where filament may be a little excessive or otherwise, and to adjust as necessary.
