The Iron Duke Dog

thingiverse

So this item was a class project to create an item made from 2 (though we used 3) items from thingiverse and then create one item of our own. We decided to take a new approach to our school's mascot the 'Duke Dog'. We attend JMU and so the first step was to find an appropriate Bull Dog, which we found. He was really cute, and so we then kept looking for a crown which we came upon this majestic one. It really fit with what our school uses for their own mascot. While looking around we found this iron man helmet and thought, wouldn't it be a funny rendition to use a marvel character's helmet for our project. The real irony of this whole project was that our project was made from wood filament, even though he is called the Iron Duke Dog. When creating the base, we spelled the word dog as 'Dawg' just to even be more outrageous for this assignment. When put all together he looks pretty nifty. Our first attempt the base was really small, so we have enlarged it for this print. The scaffolding was a little tricky to take off and the crown scaffolding was more annoying just so the pieces of the crown did not break. Print Settings Printer Brand: Afinia Printer: AFINIA H480 Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Infill: loose Notes: We used wood filament for this and normal setting for everything else. It took about an hour and a half to print two at the same time. Make sure to set table heat for at least and hour!
