Solution

• Step 1: Design Creation.聽The 3D model of the toy gun and bottle caps was designed using CAD software. The gun was primarily white with a yellow lever and a cylindrical barrel.
• Step 2: Material Preparation.聽PLA filament was selected for its ease of use and biodegradability. The filament was loaded into the 3D printer.
• Step 3: Printer Setup.聽The 3D printer was calibrated, and the print bed was leveled to ensure accurate printing.
• Step 4: Printing the Gun Parts.聽The 3D model of the toy gun was sliced into layers using slicing software. The sliced file was then sent to the 3D printer. The gun parts, including the main body, lever, and barrel, were printed layer by layer using FDM technology.
• Step 5: Printing the Bottle Caps.聽The 3D model of the bottle caps was also sliced and sent to the 3D printer. The green circular bottle caps were printed using the same FDM process.
• Step 6: Post-Processing: Once printing was completed, the gun parts and bottle caps were carefully removed from the print bed. Any support structures were trimmed away, and the parts were sanded to smooth out rough edges.
• Step 7: Assembly.聽The printed parts of the toy gun were assembled. The yellow lever was attached to the main body, and the cylindrical barrel was secured in place.
• Step 8: Function Testing.聽The assembled toy gun was tested to ensure that the bottle caps could be loaded into the cylindrical barrel and fired correctly.
• Step 9: Final Inspection.聽A final inspection was conducted to check for any defects or issues. The toy gun was confirmed to be functional and ready for use.
