The objective of this project is to create a series of low-to-medium detail 3D models of animals raising their middle finger. These models will be optimized for FDM 3D printing and designed for multi-color printing (up to 4 colors). The models should be approximately 6 cm tall, ensuring they are printable, visually appealing, and manufacturable for a 3D printing business.

Students will be responsible for:

1. 3D Model Creation:

• Design low-to-medium-detail 3D models of various animals in Blender, ZBrush, Fusion 360, or similar software.
• Ensure models are suitable for FDM 3D printing with minimal supports.
• Assign up to 4 color separations for multi-material printing.
• Save and export files in .STL and .3MF formats.

1. Concept & Design Review:

• Create initial concept sketches or rough models for feedback.
• Adjust proportions and pose to ensure the middle finger gesture is clear.

1. Testing & Refinement:

• Make necessary modifications based on printability feedback.
• Ensure models align with manufacturing constraints while maintaining artistic intent.

1. Final Deliverables:

• A completed set of 3D models (.STL & .3MF) ready for printing.
• Concept sketches or early drafts for review.
• Technical notes on multi-color separation and printing considerations.
• (Optional) Rendered previews of the models.

This project provides students with hands-on experience in 3D modeling for manufacturing, optimizing designs for 3D printing, and working with multi-color material limitations.
