As we prepare to wrap up another nine weeks, Mrs. Peak in the library has completed another round of 3D print requests. Mrs. Peak received 139 Google requests for a 3D print, with only 17 being done incorrectly. Students have to submit a request using a Google form and the item must take less than 4 hours to print, be appropriate, it is a Bambu file, and must have included the link. Students will be able to make another request after returning from Spring Break. Here are just a few of the last requests that were printed.
