3D Steemit Ice cube (in a glass) Project (part 1)
<center>![jhn.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRS9YhaVoRYuyoW2ymyChbTf7LRvrg1Lqkb8tDxpeGgxn/jhn.png)

I am going to make a real Steemit ice cube because I recently bought the materials to make the ice cube. It takes a while before I can make a post about it because it needs to dry for many hours and also the ice cube to be solid. In the meantime I am going to show you the tutorial, the printing process of the Steemit logo for the ice cube and the printed piece.

# Tutorial ( Fusion 360)

I sketched a circle of 60 mm and offset the circle with 7 mm. Then I inserted the Steemit logo individually so the logo will be connected to the the circle.

The Steemit logo is here extruded with 20 mm using operation Join.

With Fillet I smoothened the circle around it. I wanted to smoothen the inner corners but it was not possible somehow.

To design the glass I sketched a circle around the ice cube. I offset the circle with 2 mm.

Here I extruded the glass by selecting the whole circle, so the inner and the outer circle with operation New Body. Then I extruded the inner circle with operation Cut. I didn't extrude it till the bottom because I wanted to create a real looking glass. Then I smoothened the inner circle inside with 5 mm using Fillet.

To make Cola inside the glass I extruded the inner circle inside and changed the appearance in to Calm Water and changed the colour in to a brownish colour. Now it looks like Cola!

# Printing the Steemit Ice cube model

![20180110_133610_1.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVSZyx3We2hv7LKGgecUDVyKG5FNimhMe1MtoEoQxVVde/20180110_133610_1.gif) 

I printed this Steemit ice cube model with the Prusa because my 3d printer was making drama again. I noticed that it takes much longer for the Prusa to print models. Probably because the quality is much higher? The duration is for me quite a disadvantage. I believe it took the Prusa 2 times to print a model than my 3d printer, the Printrbot Simple Metal.
I can not wait to have a 3d printer that prints in a few minutes.

# The printed pieces

The ice cube is 2 cm thick and 6 cm large.

I will see you in my next post where I will show you how I made it and of course the Steemit Ice Cube. If everything turns out as it should be since I never done this before ;-).
