The document provides suggestions for modifying a 3D printed design, including changing the material of some slices from hard to soft or opaque to transparent. It also suggests skipping slices, using other objects as spacers, changing the scale or proportions of some parts, incorporating text or graphics, creating negative spaces to fill with other elements, making moving parts, and combining different modifications. The overall document is providing ideas for experimenting with variations on a 3D printed design.

1. Consider your use of materials--what happens if
you take some of the slices and change the material
(hard to soft?, opaque to transparent?, etc)
• Manually: print out shapes from your PDF
pattern(s) , perhaps larger, and use as templates
• What happens if you skip slices and use other
forms/materials/objects as "spacers"?
• What happens if you change the scale and/or
proportions on some parts?
• What about incorporating text or other graphics?
• What happens if you create a pattern with lots of
"negative" spaces that you fill with other stuff?
(consider sound, light, smell, texture/touch,etc)?
• What happens if you make a moving part?
• What about combinations of the above?
