Summary
This is an extruded model of an old fashioned Air Jordan logo. It fits in a constraint box roughly 7.5 cm by 3.5 cm. There are 4 different layers of extrusion, as each layer of wings is extruded 0.2 cm higher then the next. The ribbon is included in the first layer, and the final layer contains just the basketball. We also included 2 different extruded cuts, one for the lettering and one for the lines on the basketball.
In the final printed product, for the most part the piece came out pretty good except for some failure on the small detailed letters and basketball lines. Because of this, I recommend when printing scale by at least 150% of the original STL file

Lesson plan and Activity
Problem Statement –
With a partner, you will design a “2D” placard using Solidworks. You and your partner will have the same design which meets the constraints below, and you will EACH use Solidworks to create your design.
Constraints –
Should have a flat back; detail will be on the front side
Should fit inside a box that is 25cm2 when lying flat
Should be no more than 1cm thick
Detail will be made using sketches that are extruded to different heights
Sketch must begin with a constraint box, (a center-rectangle created from the origin)
Dimensions should be detailed but efficient
Sketch must contain zero error messages
Sketch must be fully defined when complete
Demonstrate efficient use of “Construction Lines”/”Reference Geometry”
Demonstrate efficient use of “Offset Entities”
Demonstrate efficient use of “Manual Relations”
Demonstrate efficient use of “Smart Dimensions”
Demonstrate efficient use of “Mirroring”
Demonstrate efficient use of “Linear Patterns”
