I made something that I'm really proud of. I'd love it if you could check it out and give it a download. I'm a teacher and I'm trying to earn enough points to get another printer through maker world. makerworld.com/models/1310996
It's official four new FTC robotics teams are created in Jefferson county, Illinois.

This has been such a long time coming. After moving into the building 7 years ago I finally get the room adjoining my robotics lab. Finally a clean space to teach code and 3D print in!

I love how 3D printing integrates with pretty much any hobby. Having all my EDC stuff organized with 3D prints makes me feel like Batman getting ready every morning.

Just a PSA for those that just got there first 3D printer and are getting ready to experience a cold wave. Bed adhesion relies on a consistent room temperature environment.

Before when doing a multiplate print I would print the first plate, return to my computer slice the 2nd plate and print. Just found the 'send' feature a couple of days ago. What a lifesaver, slice everything at once send everything at once and do all the printing from the machine interface.

No I don't add another cram session the day before finals. We have a pancake Day. I put the bilge pumps pirate Christmas album on repeat all day long and go through about five boxes of pancake batter.

You're considering getting yourself or loved one of 3D printer don't mess around just get a bambu A1 or A1 mini. I've been in this game for over 10 years and the bambu products are as close as you can get to' it just works.'

Any guesses on how Perkins CTE grant money might be affected in the coming years?

It's ludicrous how much time, money, and resources it takes for kids to even play junior high sports. Just want my son to have fun and get the experience of being on a team.

Chicken Tortilla. I stood for 10 minutes and could not locate it. I took this picture to prove to her that it was not there. She found the soup on the photo and redirected me back to the shelf. I'm completely impotent compared to my wife's amazing abilities to find stuff hidden in plain sight.

As a dad seeking to instill empathy in my kids and as a teacher who constantly bears witness to lack thereof, this heartfelt little series was just what my family needed. So many really hard issues addressed that are never presented to kids. search.app?link=https%3...
