Tutorial​ ​1: How​ ​to​ ​make​ ​a​ ​nametag​ ​in​ ​Doodle3D​ ​Transform Welcome​ ​to​ ​this​ ​written​ ​Doodle3D​ ​Transform​ ​tutorial.​ ​Today​ ​we​ ​will​ ​show​ ​you​ ​how​ ​to​ ​design a​ ​Nametag​ ​with​ ​Transform​ ​in​ ​your​ ​classroom.   Find​ ​us​ ​online:  www.doodle3d.com   www.facebook.com/doodle3d   Doodle3D​ ​B.V.​ ​-​ ​Europalaan​ ​2b​ ​-​ ​3526​ ​KS​ ​Utrecht​ ​-​ ​NL  [email protected]   KvK:​ ​64580083​ ​–​ ​BTW NL8557.28.607.B01  Required​ ​materials: - at​ ​least​ ​one​ ​3D​ ​printer a​ ​Doodle3D​ ​Transform​ ​Classroom an​ ​internet​ ​connection up​ ​to​ ​40​ ​Tablets,​ ​laptops​ ​or​ ​PC’s​ ​with​ ​Safari,​ ​Chrome,​ ​Edge​ ​or​ ​Firefox​ ​browser a​ ​Computer​ ​with​ ​Cura​ ​(Slicer​ ​program)​ ​on​ ​it optional:​ ​a​ ​Doodle3D​ ​WiFi-Box​ ​(Slices​ ​for​ ​you​ ​and​ ​prints​ ​wirelessly​ ​to​ ​compatible​ ​printers) Design​ ​time:​ ​15​ ​to​ ​30​ ​minutes Printing​ ​time:​ ​20​ ​to​ ​40​ ​minutes​ ​per​ ​Nametag Difficulty:​ ​Easy There​ ​are​ ​a​ ​couple​ ​of​ ​good​ ​reasons​ ​why​ ​a​ ​Nametag​ ​is​ ​a​ ​good​ ​first​ ​project​ ​to​ ​start​ ​with: 1. Nametags​ ​are​ ​quite​ ​flat,​ ​so​ ​they​ ​will​ ​not​ ​take​ ​long​ ​to​ ​print 2. They​ ​are​ ​not​ ​complex,​ ​and​ ​thus​ ​very​ ​easy​ ​for​ ​students​ ​to​ ​design​ ​themselves 3. They​ ​can​ ​have​ ​as​ ​little​ ​or​ ​as​ ​much​ ​decoration​ ​as​ ​the​ ​class​ ​has​ ​time​ ​for,​ ​plenty​ ​of room​ ​to​ ​get​ ​creative​ ​and​ ​personalize​ ​them 4. Students​ ​can​ ​wear​ ​them​ ​afterwards! Setting​ ​up: Logging​ ​the​ ​devices​ ​into​ ​the​ ​Transform​ ​account: 1. All​ ​devices​ ​will​ ​need​ ​to​ ​open​ ​a​ ​browser​ ​window​ ​and​ ​go​ ​to​ ​website transform.doodle3d.com 2. Log-in​ ​on​ ​all​ ​devices​ ​using​ ​your​ ​Classroom​ ​license​ ​log-in 3. Everyone​ ​can​ ​click​ ​‘Draw​ ​a​ ​doodle’​ ​to​ ​open​ ​Transform Settling​ ​on​ ​a​ ​naming​ ​convention: 30​ ​students​ ​in​ ​a​ ​class​ ​will​ ​produce​ ​30​ ​designs,​ ​and​ ​they​ ​all​ ​get​ ​saved​ ​to​ ​the​ ​same​ ​‘My Doodles’​ ​folder.​ ​Make​ ​sure​ ​to​ ​settle​ ​on​ ​a​ ​good​ ​naming​ ​convention​ ​so​ ​you​ ​can​ ​easily​ ​find​ ​who made​ ​what​ ​afterwards. For​ ​example​ ​-​ ​class_studentname_nametag Tip:​ ​To​ ​make​ ​it​ ​easier​ ​you​ ​can​ ​‘Save’​ ​the​ ​blank​ ​canvas​ ​with​ ​a​ ​good​ ​name​ ​yourself,​ ​before handing​ ​the​ ​device​ ​to​ ​the​ ​student.​ ​When​ ​the​ ​student​ ​wants​ ​to​ ​save​ ​their​ ​design​ ​the​ ​initial name​ ​you​ ​used​ ​will​ ​be​ ​suggested​ ​in​ ​the​ ​same​ ​field​ ​that​ ​the​ ​student​ ​can​ ​use​ ​without changing​ ​the​ ​name,​ ​overwriting​ ​the​ ​first​ ​empty​ ​save. Tell​ ​your​ ​students​ ​to​ ​save​ ​regularly​ ​and​ ​not​ ​close​ ​the​ ​browser​ ​until​ ​they​ ​have​ ​saved​ ​their design.   Find​ ​us​ ​online:  www.doodle3d.com   www.facebook.com/doodle3d   Doodle3D​ ​B.V.​ ​-​ ​Europalaan​ ​2b​ ​-​ ​3526​ ​KS​ ​Utrecht​ ​-​ ​NL  [email protected]   KvK:​ ​64580083​ ​–​ ​BTW NL8557.28.607.B01  The​ ​interface​ ​tools​ ​we’ll​ ​be​ ​using: Tools: Shapes​ ​tool Paintbucket​ ​tool Context​ ​menu: Fill​ ​toggle Color​ ​selection Align​ ​selection Step​ ​1:​ ​ ​The​ ​basic​ ​shape Deciding​ ​on​ ​a​ ​basic​ ​shape​ ​of​ ​the​ ​Nametag.​ ​A​ ​rectangle​ ​is​ ​a​ ​good​ ​place​ ​to​ ​start.​ ​To​ ​add some​ ​variety​ ​we​ ​will​ ​mix​ ​a​ ​Rectangle​ ​and​ ​a​ ​Hectagon​ ​together. 1.
