Fully Upgrade Our 3D Printing Capabilities with an Additional X1C
Help me give my students an additional Bambu X1 Carbon 3D printer to enhance our art class and community projects, doubling our production capabilities for the upcoming school year.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ellis Stephens Leadership Class's classroom raised $1,632

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are creative and talented young artists from East Side San Jose, attending KIPP Navigate High School, a Title I school serving a predominantly student of color population and marginalized youth. Despite the challenges they face, they show incredible resilience and passion for art. Last year, they showcased their skills by creating tiger mascots as a final project, demonstrating their potential when given the right tools.
We're upgrading from outdated Creality Ender 3s to advanced Bambu X1 Carbon 3D printers, which are ten times more efficient and versatile, allowing us to execute intricate, large-scale projects with greater precision and speed.
We already have one Bambu X1 Carbon, which has significantly enhanced our ability to bring artistic visions to life. However, to fully realize our goals and keep up with the demand, we need an additional Bambu X1 Carbon. This will not only allow us to handle more projects simultaneously but also ensure that our students can work on their assignments without delays.
With an additional Bambu X1 Carbon, we can:
Double Our Production: Starting the school year with two Bambu X1 Carbons will enable us to create custom 3D LEGO miniatures for our first project, allowing more students to participate actively and simultaneously.
Expand Community Engagement: With increased production capacity, we can extend our projects beyond the classroom, organizing community paint nights and collaborative art installations.
Enhance Learning and Creativity: The advanced features of the Bambu X1 Carbon will provide students with hands-on experience using cutting-edge technology, fostering their creativity and technical skills.
