[aisle] 3D printer for Makerspace?

[Nichole Folkman]

I was completely new to 3D printing when I started last year. I really
liked working with Next Wave STEM <https://nextwavestem.com/>because they
helped with training and curriculum. They had a grant, too, that helped pay
for the supplies as well. Might be worth looking into.
