Next Level 3D Printing!

Help me give my students a more up to date 3D printing experience. They are currently using a 10 year old Dremel 3D printer and desperately need an upgrade!

My Project

My STEM students have been working with 3D printers for the past 8 years. Currently we have a 10 year old Dremel printer that does not have the capability to print multiple colors, unless you physically change the filament. The Bambu P1S allows the user to print up to 16 different colors.

The students will be able to elevate their knowledge of 3D printing and design by working on the Bambu app to create 3D printed objects with multiple layers and colors, allowing my students to experience 3D printing at a deeper level.

When students are able to use software programs to create designs they are building engineering and STEM skills that will allow them to flourish in future STEM education classes and careers.
