failed models and mistakes

this is the extent of the failed prints due to issues I had with offsetting the pieces.
This was effected greatly by the thickness of the acrylic which would fluctuate in each sheet which meant that the offset had to be customised to each sheet of acrylic. I also had an issue with setting up the cardboard files because i didn't realise that only 4.5 mm cardboard was sold. I ended up forgetting this a few times and ended up with slots that were too small.

this was a failed print that integrated the acrylic as a window or a lens.  It also looks similar to a stargate portal which is what I was originally going for.


It peeled off the bed and wouldn't actually print the top of the portal which was disappointing and also had issues wight eh resolution.  Some of my models were too small and this affected the quality.

the cardboard was too loose and fell apart all the time so i couldn't use it as one of my final models
