Context: I am BRAND NEW to 3D printing and modeling. I’ve had my printer about six weeks (love it btw), but our school had a homemade Soundboard using Arduino, but it was entirely open (and not functioning at the time it was handed to me). I got it working and figured out how to model and print it to be usable.
How it has helped me and what I plan to do.
– Part 1 –
I have been printing off all sorts of animals, fidgets, etc that I freely give out to children and adults alike. When out with my youngest son the other day, a boy (approximately 8 or 9) was eyeing the fidget I was playing with. I walked over and gave it to him.
I’m a regular at the library and I got a list of the staff’s favorite animals and characters. I made a bunch of fidgets and animals for each of them. I did the same at a coffee shop where I am a regular. Even adults get a smile on their face when someone has taken time to care about them and give them something they like.
– Part 2 –
At church this past Sunday a teacher at our local school spoke to me about wanting to use 3D printing in her class and as a part of their activities. They have some older printers, but no one on-site knows where to start. I’ll be familiarizing myself with the machines and then walking several teachers through the basics of loading filament, picking models, slicing and printing.
My name is Don and I’m a high school teacher and a big fan of 3D printing.
In Australia, the K1 Max is $1167 AUD.
A recent 3D printing project has been creating a sign for my classroom that shows people walking by if the room is Open, Closed, or if there is an Exam or Lesson in Progress.
I created the design myself, the parts were printed on an Ender 3V2 and an Ender 5 Plus (for the big baseplate). The pieces were then attached using screws and heat set insert nuts.
The panels can be rotated and there is a ratchet/notched system so that it doesn’t spin freely.
My students really like to play with it as they enter and it makes them curious about 3D printing.

I am a huge fan of 3D printing because it gives me a way to be creative and find fun solutions to interesting design problems.
I would really love to win a K2 Plus Combo, that would really help produce more signs for the other classrooms around the school!
I have been using 3d printing as a hobby for several years, but now use it as part of my small business. I build bespoke turn-key Professional Sim Racing setups. I now have learned 3d cad design and create my own models to print to make functional parts for my sim builds. Button boxes, mounting blocks for various controller modules, housings for steering wheel kill switches, steering wheel hangers, etc. I also use various lasers to engrave my logo or cut materiaks for my builds as well.

Elementary School STEAM Teacher here. I use 3d Printing with my upper grades to begin teaching some beginning aspects of 3D Design. I also use printing to enhance hands on lessons that I do daily with Kinder through 5th. Attached is my latest project: Touch Math numbers designed and printed keeping our teachers from having to spend hundreds of dollars for replacements.
If I need specific tools, jigs, or components that aren’t readily available, 3D printing allows me to design and produce these parts myself. This can be useful for hobbies like model making, DIY projects, or even creating specialized equipment for studies.
This is a custom bracket made from Fusion 360 for sharp edges like cabinets, with this design it will prevent my kids from injuring themselves when opening these cabinets.

My simple project, i have srynge lying around and i want to make something with that, decided to make simple hydraulic to grab some item, and it can be used to teach other about how hydraulic works, i made design using blender and print them with ender 3 v2, i am only have pla filament so i am printing this hydraulic with that filament. The grip is quite strong and i can use this to pick up items in hard-to-reach places.
Hello fellow 3D printing enthusiasts.
Currently the K1 MAX is $749 USD.
I got into the hobby some time ago and started by building my own from scratch. That didn’t really go as planned but it was a great experience and allowed me to learn a lot. Since then I actually became a PC tech at a school district. The schools that I was stationed at actually had pretty amazing equipment but their program was still in its infancy. The teachers didn’t really know a whole lot about 3D printing so I took it upon myself to help them out. Word got out and a lot of other schools actually reached out to me to help them with their programs. I coached them on the program that I used which was fusion 360 and helped them with the printers that they had issues with. So the model that I’m going to show you guys is actually the one that I used to show all of the students how easy it was to design. I highlighted how this is proof of concept as to how 3D printing can help in an everyday life scenario. Everbuilt Pump Fix

The K1 Max is $899.00 in US
I designed this myself in Fusion 360
How 3D printing has helped me with my creative projects/hobbies
It has allowed me to make my own parts for my rc cars and other things much cheaper and to my own design. For example, I wanted to modify one of my RC car’s appearance and durability. Before, the body was a car that you would never see in real life and looked like a toy. By designing this rollcage, I am now able to mount an offroad Jeep wrangler body onto the same frame. Before starting this project, I looked online to see if anybody sold what I wanted. The only thing I found was multiple people advertising their 3D modeling services for high prices.
This is the upgraded Jeep body that I will now use
For anybody that is curious, the car is a SCX10 ii Deadbolt. The Jeep body that I put is a cheap 3rd party shell that I bought from China.
I have been using my Creality printers to fix every day problems around the house, and since being layed off work, I have been able to make and sell toys to help bring in a little extra income!
I designed this above axle servo mount for my rc car in fusion 360
I designed this because I was not satisfied with the designs on thingiverse. By making my own, I could use the existing screws and mounting points so that I would not have to buy screws for other designs.

Since starting 3d printing back in January of this year I have fallen in love with printing and modeling… 3d printing has helped me to focus and control my anxiety… Below are some of my favorite models that I have printed…
**I’m an Educator in the UK (Maths teacher for 11-18s) who has spent the last year learning to use 3D printing with a view to use this as a method of introducing students to Design, Rapid Prototyping and Engineering - a gap at my current school which has no Design and Technology department, but owns a 3D printer. This has taken various forms for different year groups, but most notable has been the creation and trial of an engineering challenge for sixthform students (17-18) where from a standardised chassis (with lots of different fixing options), they were challenged to work as a small team of 2-4 students to create an autonomous solar powered line following robot (more detail below + videos + materials) which includes 3D design and printing of IR mounts and a solar panel mount. This introduced them to a range of skills not taught in the classroom, requiring them to develop skills in 3D design and 3D printing, as well as electrical/ mechanical engineering, programming and project management for the full project delivery. I’m passionate about multi-disciplinary integration in engineering and view 3D printing (and rapid prototyping) as a key element of this.
The biggest reason this competition would help for me, is that in September I have taken a job at a new local school and whilst I hope to continue the project, unfortunately I won’t have the same access to 3D printers at my new school so winning a K2 Plus Combo or Ender-3 V3 would transform my ability to continue and develop the project. Assuming continued success (and refinement of the project) in the longer term I have aspirations to extend the project to other schools in my local area.**
**2. The K1 Max is currently discounted in the back to school sale to £639 in the UK (£859 at full price) **
Forum post here - Further photos of full model to follow at the end of the week - 25 Aug (I’m currently away on holiday), but a short video and photo from my phone included here as an initial example.
I’ve posted the STL of the standardised chassis (with friction fit lid) to the Creality Cloud in case anyone is interested and/ or wants to use. I also include a pdf of the project briefing document below and some examples of the student submissions that have been received in this trial year - again comments and feedback welcome.

Further detail: Engineering Challenge - design and develop an autonomous solar powered line following robot
Last year saw a successful trial of the engineering project with four teams using the school’s 3D printer to produce the chassis’ and print the students designed parts – solar panel mounts + their design for mount of IR sensors. They learned lots along the way, with lots of trial and improvement, and developed a range of key engineering and team working skills.
For a little more context please review the attachments provided – you’re welcome to use but please do include me as a reference on this. I’d also welcome any thoughts, feedback or development suggestions.
The whole project has come about as a response to my current school having no Design and Technology department, but a strong STEM cohort of students. Many of these were applying to University or for apprenticeships to study Engineering or practical science degrees, but the lack of practical experience available through meant they were struggling to get through the application process. The engineering challenge was an effort to address this practical skills gap.
