Why Scrap When You Can Upgrade?

Help me give my students upgrade the 3D printers to post Covid standards.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Case's classroom raised $291

My Project

Our students love to create! You have helped them get state of the art 3D printers before Covid. The technology world had evolved and our printers have not.

Why scrap a great piece of equipment when a simple upgrade can provide cutting edge technology for my students?

Simple upgrades to the print head, the bed and the onboard circuitry can make what could be an obsolete tech into cutting edge tech. My students will get access and training on the most up to date 3D printing hardware available. Creating a career and work force ready graduate is vital.
