3d Printing Upgrades and Maintenance

Help me give my students replacement parts and upgrades for our 3D printers at school!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Desmond's classroom raised $338

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project targets the continuation of efforts already made possible by Donors Choose to provided necessary maintenance to our 3D printers. This year our printers have gained over 800 hours in just one year of use and as a result, we need new fans, belts, memory cards and nozzles to keep these printers going. In addition, the magnetic bed upgrade will allow our students to safely remove prints without having to pry them off the glass build plate. In addition, these magnetic beds will be proactive on maintenancefor future years to come.
