arliemaria Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 My son has been wanting to use a 3D printer for a very long time. As we've been preparing for his science fair project on wind energy he found plans online for a wind turbine he would like to print and test. How do you go about finding a 3D printer and what should we expect to pay to print something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you go about finding a 3D printer and what should we expect to pay to print something? Here, several libraries have them. And some larger colleges/universities have them in a dedicated maker space. Here, both of those places let you print free for projects under two hours. After two hours there is a cost, though relatively small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandragood1 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Is there a Maker Space near you? Or maybe à college lab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Definitely check out colleges. Our community college has at least one, and I think two 3D printers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
