originally specified. We found that the hot plate wasn&#8217;t hot enough so we set it to 350F based on the shrinky dink instructions to see what type of results we would get. We started a timer to see if there was a specific sweet spot where the shrinky dink begins to transform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our most interesting finding is that the shrinky dink paper curls and tends to form air pockets when the heat is coming from one direction. Typically in an oven, shrinky dinks don&#8217;t morph as much in the process. Referring to the exhibit A and B below, we found that once the shrinky dink paper forms a convex pocket where only the edges are touching the surface, the transformation stops or requires some intervention (i.e. a flip) in order for new shapes to form. Overall, the final solidified form takes around 3 minutes per piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, we also tried to reinforce some of the folds when it came off the hot plate to see if it would still bend or be a bit cleaner as  it set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5910-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2675\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5910-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/2620\/origami-project-update\/img_5910\/\" class=\"wp-image-2675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5910-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5910-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5910-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5910-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5910-1140x1520.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5910-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">A: 20 seconds in<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5912-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2676\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5912-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/2620\/origami-project-update\/img_5912\/\" class=\"wp-image-2676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5912-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5912-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5912-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5912-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5912-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-480\/s2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_5912-1140x855.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">B: 1 minute in<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we didn&#8217;t have the heat lamp in our supply yet, we wanted to see if marking the shrinky dink paper with a black marker would change anything about the way or efficiency of how the material folds.
