I built a model of a director's chair. I chose to build this because it was an interesting design and it would be a cool finished product. To create this finished model I first had to create a design on Inventor. My original design had to be revised several times because of the limited abilities of the Maker Bot. I had to make two solid legs rather than four individual legs and the back of the chair all had to be on the same layer. Although there were many changes, the finished product turned out fantastic!

Some things to remember when building this design is that the bottom layers will cool a lot faster than the top layers, causing the bottom to shrink and part of the product to be uneven. To create a smoother, cleaner finished product use a heated build platform so the entire design is cooling and shrinking together. Also, because it is a larger design make sure the platform is big enough to support the entire rack. If it is not large enough, the product will begin to build off the side of the platform and will not be a successful creation.
