I asked for a Bambulab p1S because it had a reputation for ease of use, reliability, and wealth of features. Since it arrived just over a month ago, students have been enchanted by it. Even if they aren't part of the 3D Printing Classes and Clubs, students ask how it works, and what is possible.\r\n\r\n Those students who were most interested in 3D printing are learning the basics of modeling, and using the AMS to make unique multicolor models for class projects, costumes, or the sheer joy of creation.\r\n\r\n Other students have seen what we've been working on and plan to join next semester. When these students see things that are 3D printed online, they realize that our school has those tools, and can teach them how to use them. One student already has a plan for next year's Halloween costume, joined our club to make it happen, and wants to get started on it immediately.\r\n\r\n The donation of this one machine to our fledgling Makerspace has helped instill a sense of wonder and infinite possibility in our school.\r\n\r\nMahalo once again.","fullyFundedDate":1755567284036,"projectUrl":"project/3d-printing-made-easy-multicolor-bambu/9621737/","projectTitle":"3D Printing Made Easy: Multicolor Bambu 3D Printer","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Pierson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9913697_orig.jpg?crop=272,272,x0,y44&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755558423770","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9913697"},{"teacherId":7938880,"projectId":8945384,"letterContent":"Mahalo nui loa for you generous donations.
