Our 3D Printer!

Look out digital world May Road school has a brand new 3D printer! Today was a super day as we received our very own 3D printer. We were very kindly donated our printer by the June Gray Charitable Trust. David from Ricoh came in to teach Andrea and I how to operate the machine and he showed us how to use makerbot! Pretty exciting stuff don't you think?

What would you print if you could design and print anything in 3D!

    Wow its so amazing that you have a 3D printer at your school. I have always wanted to see a 3D printer in real life. I heard that they are so much fun. I think you guys are going to have so much fun 3D printing objects. How much did the 3D printer cost? What kind of objects did you 3D print. Please tell me.

  2. Hi May Road School,
    If I had a 3D printer I would print a 3D flower and make a tutorial about how to use your own 3D printer.
    It is cool that you have your own 3D printer in your school because some school do not have a 3D printer.
    I have one question that I would like to ask you what would you use your 3D printer for?
    Overall it is cool that you have your own 3D printer.

  3. Hi May Road,
    It is so cool having a 3D printer in your classroom, I bet that when you just got it everybody crowded around it. I wish that our classroom had a 3D printer too. What Kind of objects did you make?

    If I had an 3D printer I would use it allot! It is so amazing how it can turn things into 3D. I have question? How does it work? And did you guys program it with a laptop? I hope it is amazing and worth to use. And my final question is, What do you make with it?

  5. Kia Ora Miss Haydon,

    Yeah they are pretty excited things. Lucky! Are you guys excited about having a brand new 3D printer? I wish our school had a 3D printer. It is cool having a 3D printer that can help you with your maths. It is my first time looking at a real 3D printer. It is good that people are helping you guys with your brand new 3D printer.

  6. Hi May Road School,
    It is very cool to see that you have a 3D printer because you can just print out lots of cool 3D things. Also I would just like to say have you already used your 3D printer? because it would be cool to see a blog post about that. Also from your brilliant question you gave to us well I wanted to answer it and my answer is I would print out a 3D Minecraft statue because Minecraft is a cool game to play and there is lots of cool things to create.
