What gets built

Make a recognisable flat flower using your own choice of PLA colours while keeping the character of the approved test.

What it practises
  • Tracing and filling a template with adjacent strands of PLA.
  • Choosing colours and a pattern for the six petals.
  • Fitting cool parts together and observing a supported joint.

Success criteria
  • You can recognise a flat flower with six petals, a centre, a leaf and a stem.
  • Each part has a filled outline, and the bases retain the shape of the template.
  • Once cooled, all the parts stay together when you gently lift the flower by its centre.
  • You choose the colours and how to use the finished flower.
