This week was so great to our cervical cancer project.
After presenting our project to our client Dr Schmeler, she was really excited with our project progress, however, she pin pointed two things that we needed to modify, thus,
- color change should last about 3-5 minutes
- the cancerous and precancerous parts should only be on one or two parts of the model
we spent the whole week modifying the models, choosing models to be used for final prototype and printing the normal and normal with cyst models using PLA filament. the precancerous and cancerous models will be printed using Ninja-flex flexible filament which we have ordered which is more flexible and will help the models hold its temperature for some time, this will in turn help the color change last longer. below are the pictures of normal and normal with cyst model
alongside modifying and printing, i also made model holders shown on the pictures using adobe illustrator and laser cutter. i really liked this tasks cause it has made me gain some knowledge on how to use laser cutter and adobe illustrator.
we also tested our models against four of our design criteria; color change,reuse,cost and portable.am so excited getting to see that we have achieved all our criteria we tested.
we finally had an exciting printing workshop in which i printed my 2 t-shirts.
our next task is to print the remaining models, paint them and test the other two design criteria, realistic and easy to use.
