As expected, the “Hail Mary” 3D printed model making did not quite work out. The facade was fundamentally too thin in places that the plastic lost cohesion during deposition, which resulted in more than one wiggly line, and that was before the wastage. I wanted to 3D print the model as prior experience with the technique has produced, for the most part, less waste than laser cutting, CNC milling or other methods of model making. However, due to poor decision making on my part (an unfortunately common occurrence during this project), there ended up being a rather silly amount of support material, which resulted in a rather significant pile of waste plastic. With one reason or another, I simply have not had a good project. Win some, lose some. It is just gutting that this happened with the final project. I hope I am able to scrape something through, as frankly, right now, I am utterly knackered. Maybe I’ll be able to scrape one last perspective render in tomorrow morning, as it turns out our submission window is later than originally advertised, but we shall see.
