Re: pic: Bad Brad with a 3D Print

@Brad do you recycle the waste product? (the break away material)

I think something like this may be a little more say "useful" in highschools for courses such as pltw simply because it seems easier. The students can take home the part to take the break away support material off. And for the simple part that student would make it would be nowhere near 25 hours of print time. If other schools are like my high school was the teacher could just let it run all day because there was always someone in the room Although I bet this is much safer to leave alone then a CNC mill with a running spindle speed of a few thousand RPMs. It is also probably more space efficient too, along with CLEANER. No wax chips all over. Not much setup time. Oh and also you don't need 2 classes to learn it all (1 for CAD and 1 for CNC software)

EDIT: I looks like the size of a vending machine. Put this in the lunch room instead vending machines with fatty foods!
