Explore 3D modeling by your own hand! These 3D pens stimulate creativity and teach the basics of FDM 3D printing! We had a great time making butterflies, helicopters, and flowers with our pen. And I was able to use this as a vessel to teach how extrusion works, and we even got into a little bit of thermal dynamics and energy transfer! [ 362 more words ]

What's this?

A wild Anet kit has appeared!

The standard package - an Anet a8 kit, BIQU mosfet, and 1 kg of filament - for the Introduction to 3d Printing class that we will be offering starting in a few weeks!

This specific printer is special, though. This will be the one we use to write the teaching material for this class from the ground up!
