My Project

This project will allow my students to continue their 3D printing. The PLA 1.75 mm filaments come in different colors to use for different purposes depending on their projects and assignments.

Most recently my students 3D-printed objects to create biome boxes that show examples of ecological diversity.

In the future, my physics students may use the 3D printer to construct custom models of bridges or projectile launchers to investigate concepts such as forces, torque, and 2-dimensional kinematics. The possibilities are endless!

These spools of filament will replace filament that has already been used. The new colors will allow my students the opportunity to add an element of art to their science projects.
