3D printed mushroom prototype

The Mushroom prototypes were designed by Agnes and 3D printed by Shirin at uCreate. After several attempts, the model was successfully printed using the fastest printer available. These two mushroom prototypes filled a single printing plate, resulting in a printing cycle of approximately 7 hours for both mushrooms using their fastest printer.

3D printed Mushroom nodes.

These are less than 18 cm in height.

 

Pros:

  • Easy to print once the model and printer are calibrated.
  • Estimated completion time for all prints is around 3 days (plus 1 additional day for post-processing).

Cons:

  • The material does not showcase light as effectively as crepe paper.
  • The finished product is small, raising concerns about its ability to adequately fill the space. This prompts questions about the need for additional exhibition elements and whether the entire space should be utilized.
