Agreed! I have 3 of mine own, and 20 neighborhood kids. Yesterday neighborhood kids asked to find, download, and 3D print jet planes. Jesse (first to ask for jet plane) confirmed that he understood these are not fitted with jetsβ¦yet π€£
Day before, we were queueing up whale sharks then tiger shark prints.
Since Iβm using an Ender 5 pro currently (released 2020 π΄π») they are learning a lot about the process and what can go wrong π€
Iβve showed them
@BambulabGlobal printers as where Iβll go next to not babysit and pray as often for successful prints π
I taught them about build plate vs nozzle temps because the numbers of 50C vs 200C first scared them. They touched the 50C glass build plate and were shocked that it wasnβt that hot.
I said you are not to test the hotness of the 200C nozzle. That is where the plastic filament is melted to poop it out into the designs we print.
π₯Ή This is one of my favorite ways to spend my time along with modding electric scooters with them. We are going from π1 24V LiFePo4 -> [2,3,4] in parallel to test the improvements felt while Scootin. Max 30A on the Razor Pocket Mod controller which we discussed too since each battery max discharge is 10A with 18A < 3s burst.
Ideally Iβll non-profit, open heart source all of it, and help neighborhoods around the world have their own neighborhood βWesWorld STEAM locationβ.
Itβs tough to do bootstrap it solo (especially with me being π© CFO too) but worth the effort for each and every one of them.
Have kids, hang with your kids and their friends and never stop inventing, building, learning, and sharing β€οΈβπ₯π
