Help me give my students access to a 3D printer to print their designs!

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
Our students have been learning how to create 3D models in the 3D Design and Modeling tool, AUTODESK Tinkercad. When builds are completed, students often ask if their design can be 3D printed.
Our school is a Governor Designated Nevada STEM School with a focus on Environmental Studies.
Students apply to attend our public, magnet school to develop the knowledge and skills to pursue a pathway in Architectural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or Computer Engineering. Throughout the school year, students are engaged in Project Based Learning (PBL) and complete various projects like developing a Sustainable City, building a Foot Orthosis, bird house, etc.
I am requesting two 3D printers and various colors of PLA filament so that students have the ability to bring their builds to life in real time. My goal is that students learn through trial and error and can enhance their ability to learn how their proper planning and design skills can result in quality end products.
3D Printing has evolved since the 1970s and has become more accessible to the everyday consumer, however, school is the only place my students will have access to a quality 3D printer. By providing students with access to a 3D printer, they will be at the forefront of becoming future engineers.
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
