About this model

This is a prototype/example I printed for a project that I assigned to my Integrated Mathematics 1 students at the 9-12 grade level. They are to design a capsule to protect a large chicken egg from an 8 - 10 foot drop. This design was printed to illustrate size parameters as well as some examples of methods of protection (parachute, cushioning, and shock absorption). Please feel free to make modifications for improvement.
