3D Printing Our Dreams

Help me give my students filament options for our Bambu Labs 3D printer to be able to create new projects and designs!

My Project

My Engineering classroom was gifted a Bambu Labs 3D Printer, but we have no filament to print with. My students are so excited to be able to create their own designs to print, and to be able to make so many things for our classroom to align with our STEM topics and lessons.

My Engineering students are so creative and love learning new technology, this filament will help them bring their 3D engineering dreams to life!

The filament we are requesting will supply our classroom and projects for the foreseeable future. These filament color options will allow students to create intricate designs in vivid detail.

My students come from a low income area and sometimes struggle to have the basics. Having access to this technology opens so many doors that they would normally not have regular access to. Please help me provide this new technology to my students to continue inspiring their interest and love of Engineering and Technology!
