Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

The 3D printing initiative at Wayne College continues to garner awareness from the community.\u00a0 The Daily Record posted an article a couple of weeks ago and folks reported hearing about us on the radio, too.\u00a0 Community members are requesting to see and use the lab for various projects this summer.<\/p>\n

Also raising awareness is our summer camp, already halfway through its 10-week run.\u00a0 The radio controlled planes are assembled, now kids and instructors are working on mounting motors and connecting linkages that control the ailerons and rudders.\u00a0 As the planes near completion, kids practiced flight control by connecting their controllers to a computer simulator.\u00a0 This reduces the chance of crashing their actual planes at the end of summer camp.\u00a0 Chris (our instructor) was impressed how well they handled their virtual planes.\u00a0 In the spare time, they used the 3D printers to create objects and laser engraver to engrave glasses.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to Chris, Nathan, and their colleagues for teaching this camp and doing all of the legwork to make it successful.<\/p>\n

Earlier last month, a bench was placed and dedicated in the honor of Karl F. Stroh, first graduate of Wayne College.\u00a0 It was an important mile marker in the history of the college accompanied with a ceremony to honor the occasion.\u00a0 The 3D lab was involved with the creation of a dedication plaque.<\/p>\n

We used the laser engraver to create the plaque.\u00a0 The lasered text was not dark enough due to the plaque\u2019s light colored inner material (MDF).\u00a0 By applying wood stain with a paper towel, the stain soaked into the engraved areas and wiped off the rest of the plaque, the latter being protected with polyurethane.\u00a0 It turned out beautifully!<\/p>\n

The weekend before last, Smucker\u2019s offered its Strawberry Jelly-Jamboree at the J.M. Smucker Company Store.\u00a0 A number of vendors showcased their wares with plenty of food, music, and activities for adults and kids.\u00a0 Wayne College had a presence at the event where we also demonstrated 3D printing.\u00a0 We brought the portable 3D printer along for the show (courtesy of the Romich Foundation) and printed small strawberries as handouts.\u00a0 The attraction was a hit; I talked non-stop for five hours.\u00a0 People of all ages were interested in 3D printing and that Wayne College offered its use for budding engineers and the community alike.\u00a0 Thanks to Nonya for the event invitation!<\/p>\n

Lastly, our original 3D printer (courtesy of the Laura B. Frick Charitable Trust \u2013 PNC Bank, Trustee) was having problems with filament jamming in the middle of a print \u2013 no melted filament would come out of the nozzle.\u00a0 Thanks to the yearly service plan that we have through Makerbot, the company sent replacement extruder nozzles, heater blocks, and cooling fans.\u00a0 Not afraid of a challenge, Anthony did a wonderful job tearing the printer apart to install the replacements.\u00a0 Now our printer works perfectly again!<\/p>\n

3D printing continues to invade areas of fabrication that goes beyond plastic.\u00a0 See how you can build a ceramic 3D printer for $700:<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be amazed how a robotic 3D printer will soon create a metal bridge over water in Amsterdam:<\/p>\n
