Project Plan

1. Tasks and Milestones

   • Debug and refurbish my personal 3D Printer
     • My printer hasn't been used in a while so to get the best results some adjustments and refurbishments will have to be made
   • Print the best minature i can
     • This is to act as a starting point for my version of the miniature, from this initial print i can work to improve it and get it closer to the manufactured model
   • Acquire a manufactured sample of a miniature
     • This will just be a off the shelf, standard miniature, however, i do need to be able to find a similar model to 3D print so i will need to be careful as to which i buy
   • Assess and compare my miniature against the manufactured version
     • I will need to design a way to assess the models before i start making them, i intend to make this a fairly harsh comparison as the goal is to assess just how close a desktop 3D printer can get to a manufactured version
   • Make adjustments and try and improve my print
     • This will involve doing a full comparison between the 2 models and marking mine against the criteria i wrote and then improving the printer or settings to try and get better results
   • Repeat the above 2 until i feel the print i make is as good as it can be
