My Project

Every year, I teach my students how to design in 3-D. This is much more engaging when students get to print and use the item they have designed. This year, students will design a fidget spinner. They will need the materials in this project to utilize our 3-D printer. We have 2 3-D printers that work well but need the necessary supplies listed in this project to work. The different filament colors are used by the printer to melt and design their project. The extruder is the part that need to print the design.
