[aisle] 3D printer for Makerspace?

[Mrs. Hamernick]

I just replaced my old with a Dremel 3040, which I would have gotten the
3045 which is the one that has a heated build plate.
Otherwise, I love it.

One thing I wasn't prepared for when I started with 3d printing is that for
the students to print themselves they need the printer software on their
devices, which my district was not willing to do.  So, I create a class on
Tynkercad and pull their designs from there, upload them to the Dremel
software on my device and send it to the printer myself.  Annoying extra
steps, but it does allow control over them printing nonsense or poorly
designed objects (which end up "failing").
