Hello, thank you for viewing my design! I have worked on this project ever since February 15th and finally I can show my newly finished design in action. I used the tinkercad program to make my design and it is great especially for people who are just getting into 3d printing. But enough being said, here is how you make the pacman characters

Supplies

-3d printer 

-filament for printer

-Tinkercad/3d printing software

-Hot glue gun and sticks

For my design, I used a photo of pac man pixel art as my reference and went into tinkercad. I used 10mm by 10mm by 10mm blocks as the pixels and slowly built it up. The hardest part of the whole project was the eyes and delayed me from finishing but after a month I put in cubes that were 5mm tall and then printed pieces for the eyes that were 1mm smaller on each side of the shape so that it fit. After getting the print ready, it is go time, but here is the link to print it

Printing Time!

So when printing it out we used a Lulzbot printer however any will do. I put the models into Cura for printing and found out it will take 4 hours and 3 minutes to print. The time would depend on the printer but it will take around that time to print out the body. It will also take 8.09 meters of filament with needs to be 3 mm in width. Now if you want to only use one color then you can print out all of the pieces at once, however if you want the regular eyes you would need to print those out too. Now it's time to go to step 3

Glue It and Finish

After it prints and all of the pieces fit, it is time for the last part. For this I used a hot glue gun in order to keep everything stuck together and also dry faster. After gluing it together we finally have our final project.
