We're very excited in Room One that this week our School took delivery of our new 3d Printer. We've spent the last two or three days organising the printer, running test prints and preparing to problem solve with it. If you are unsure about a 3d printer and what it is capable of you can view this new item here or have a look at the Room 8 class page, as their students posted about it this morning.

This video is the test print of a balloon car, which didn't work perfectly, but was pretty close. We are continuing to refine our printer and our students are confident that we can get it working completely early next week. This video was filmed, time lapsed and put together by Lucas from Room One on Friday 28th February 2014.
Does your school have a 3d printer? What can you make using a 3d printer? What school application should we have with it? What can we consider using it for?
Hi there room one. The 3D printer sounds really cool!!! Our school might be getting one too =) Can you do a video that shows us when it works probaly?

If you have any kids who are in to minecraft then this server lets you design things in minecraft and then print them out on a 3D printer. I have used the server but haven't done the printing so I can't vouch for it completely - but it looks like fun.

Wow! The 3D printer sounds really interesting. We don't have one at our school. It is amazing how far technology has come recently. What else do you think you could use it for?

ReplyDeleteHi Room 1,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like fun! Shame it didn't workout. You're really lucky to have one our school doesn't have one.

Hi Mr Webb's class, your 3D printer looks lot's of fun! I wonder what one 3D printer could create? Can't wait to hear what you create with your 3D printer.
