 ==== Bootcamp Paris 2017 - Romain Di Vozzo ===
+**Romain/Fabricademy/DAY1**
 ----
 After this very interesting first day of Fabricademy, I wanted to bring together what we learnt with our chain of design and production at Fablab Digiscope. For this 1st day assignment, I used Illustrator CS5, Corel Draw 6, and an Epilog laser-cutter Mini Legend 40W. The material I cut was 3mm thick natural leather. I had bought the leather from La Réserve des Arts (https://www.lareservedesarts.org/catalogue/).

+For the second day of this bootcamp we were introduced to 3D printing on fabric and to Rhino (software). I am not a big fan of Rhino, and I don't have the time to experiment with it now. So I chose to use a software we used for Bio Academy called caDNAno. Cadnano is made to design 3D Origamis of DNA, so it is not really related to today's topic, but, it has the advantage to produce modular structures you can export as .stl files. Obtaining a .stl file from cadnano is not easy nor obvious and I won't go into details here.

+**01-Designing a modular pattern to be 3D printed on felt**
+The design I made today was a hand "showing a middle finger" but the time to get the .stl from the CanDo server was too long. So I took a design I made 2 years ago of a Bio Hazard sign with caDNAno (picture on the right).

+**02-Converting a 3D modular pattern with Cura to 3D print it on felt**
+Since I was experimenting with this, I chose regular settings to configure this .gcode file. Cura turns /stl files into code files the 3D printers can read and execute. I used an Ultimaker 2+ to print this pattern on felt.
+The layer thickness was 0.2mm and the heigh of my design was 0.4mm. I wanted it small on the z axis to have to print as less layers as possible. 2 layers was a good compromise.

+**3-Cutting a sheet of felt to 3D print directly on it**
+I first laser-cut a square of 200mm x 200mm on the Epilog Mini Legend 24 (40W).

+**4-Preparing a sheet of felt to 3D print directly on it**
+Then I placed double-sided tape on its bottom to stick to the Ultimaker2's built plate.

+**5-3D printing directly on a sheet of felt with Ultimaker 2+**
+I stuck the felt on the glass built plate of the 3D printer, then I remade the levelling of the bed manually to bring the nozzle as close as possible to the felt and made the zero on it, and started the print.
+During this print I tuned the fans's speed, as well as the printer's speed, and the bed's height and even the temperature to compensate the smoothness of the felt and the small irregularities on its surface because it was scratching the plastic while printing it. It started not so badly, went through some issues while printing, but I finally had a very gross but understandable representation of my design.
