3D Printing Class: Designing Plates and Printer Maintenance

The student designed a 3D printed plate, faced challenges with intricate patterns, and learned about printer maintenance and potential future plans.

### Pottery Class Experience: Designing Plates and 3D Printing Process
* 🌸 The student noticed the **sudden blooming of cherry blossoms** on the road to the studio and took a picture of the **beautiful scene**.
* After completing the first class, the student returned for the second class, where the task was to **design a plate** and **print an additional cup**.
* 🖨 While waiting for the cup to be printed, the student worked on designing the plate, which was challenging due to the **limited height for complex patterns**.
* ❓ The student asked questions about **printer maintenance**, potential plans to **deepen expertise**, and the possibility of creating a **student community and exhibition**.
* ♻ The instructor mentioned that if a print fails, the material can be **reused**.
* 👂 Watching the 3D printer in action was likened to **zoning out and listening to ASMR**.

The cherry blossoms have bloomed all of a sudden. The road to the studio was so beautiful that I took a picture once. I'm back for the second class. This time, it's time to make a plate. Before that, I made one more cup to print. While waiting for the first cup to be printed, I worked hard on designing the plate. I think you might be curious, so I'll let you hear the sound of the 3D printer for a moment. It wasn't as loud as I thought. I tried designing several plate designs, but since the height was not high, even with complex patterns, it didn't show well. I wanted to create a wave-like pattern centered around the middle, but I was worried that the shape might collapse during printing, so I changed the design to a simple pattern. Also, the difficult part of designing was that if it's not a clear angular shape, it's hard to predict how the pattern will look in the actual output, just by looking at the modeling preview.

I didn't get to see the output, but I asked several questions today. I asked how you would repair the printer if it broke down, and you said you would buy parts and repair it yourself. So, I could see various traces of repairs on the printer. Then I asked if you were planning to deepen your expertise, and you said you don't have plans yet, but if there is a high demand, you might consider it. I also suggested creating a community for students personally and having an exhibition of students' works, which you thought would be nice, but you mentioned that you are already too busy with your current tasks, such as managing Instagram. I was curious about what happens if printing fails in the middle, and you said that it can be reused. When you keep watching the printing process, it feels like zoning out, similar to listening to ASMR.

The day at the pottery studio involved designing cups and plates while experiencing the 3D printing process.

The artist faced challenges with the design's complexity and the unpredictability of the printing output.

The discussion also included the possibility of printer repairs, future expertise expansion, and the idea of a student community exhibition.
