Making a Bookmark with your buddy class

Materials: 1-cm grid paper, pencial and pencil crayons, and laptop for 3D design on Tinkercad

1 cm grid paper

The problem: Can the younger buddy draw a personalized bookmark. If you aren't going to do this with a buddy class, make it personal or maybe make it fit the book you are reading. What would make the best bookmark? How thick would it need to be? How wide? Talk to your friends or look at bookmarks that work well. What do they have or what would you change in your bookmark?

1. Start by printing off 1-cm grid paper for all younger buddies and have them draw their desired bookmark. Remember they need to customize it.

1) Open Tinkercad and create a new design

2) Name that design (Name - bookmark)

3) Part of the bookmark has to stick out.

4) Your name or initials must be on the bookmark.

5) Export as an .stl or hand into your teacher when you are asked.

Here are some examples. Creativity is Key! Also, notice these examples do NOT meet our requirements.

Please use digital calipers or a ruler. We do not want the bookmark being too thin or too thick. We suggest 1mm of thickness for the part that goes into the book.

Dimensions should be no bigger than 110mm long and 35mm wide.

Notice this bookmark folds and fits in between pages.

Pick a logo. Follow these steps.

1) Find an image that is solid. Good search functions are "black and white" or "clipart". Something too complex will not print. This image needs to be a .jpg

2) Now you need to convert your .jpg to a svg. Click HERE for a link to help.

3) Now you need to convert your svg to stl. Click HERE for a link to help.

4) We will go into Tinkercad and "Import" your .stl file. If it is too big, reduce the size before it comes in.

OSL Example

- Older buddies log into Tinkercad and design what their younger buddy designed. Older students must build to the exact size on the grid paper or make alterations if they think it will need improvement.

- Check out your classmate's designs. What kinds of things did they create, ask them what kinds of things could you add to both your musical instruments to make them better and maybe sound better as well?

- Errors we ran into were some instruments were too skinny or too thin when printed. It is up to the older buddy and their teacher to decide if the design will work when 3D printed.
