Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s another busy week in the 3D Lab.\u00a0\u00a0 Various community members frequent the lab on an almost daily basis, depending upon projects they are working on.\u00a0 All of our equipment gets a regular workout.\u00a0 The vinyl cutter, 3D printers, and laser engraver was used this week by past and current students, community members, and staff.\u00a0 We also hope this equipment will save money with college projects, being able to craft our own products instead of buying expensive pre-made ones.<\/p>\n

The summer camp with the Orrville Area Boys and Girls Club officially finished last week.\u00a0 It was an exciting time for the kids and rewarding for Chris, Nathan, and myself.\u00a0 This optional activity was well attended each week, testifying that the kids thoroughly enjoyed their time with us.\u00a0 We took their planes outside for a final flight test on a bright, sunny, slight windy day.\u00a0 The instructors and kids connected their controllers in tandem, allowing the former to take control if planes were in danger of crashing.<\/p>\n

Nathan flew his \u201cwing plane\u201d, a huge plane that has no body nor tail; a giant wing with propellers behind it.\u00a0 It was also equipped with a wireless camera to show the kids a bird\u2019s eye view of flight.\u00a0 They were impressed!\u00a0 The entire summer camp was a truly wonderful experience for us all, thanks to Chris, Nathan, the R\/C Flight Club, the Wayne County R\/C Club, and Kevin Platz from the Orrville Boys and Girls Club.<\/p>\n

Back at the 3D Lab, our own Josh from Technical Support Services designed a replacement belt clip for his father\u2019s phone.\u00a0 The phone has an Otterbox protective case; the belt clip was designed to attach to this case.\u00a0 The original design was flawed in that the pin mount cracked and fell apart, thus the Otterbox will fall off the clip. Josh designed a clip that had a reinforced pin mount, fabricated a metal pin, and printed the design with strong ABS plastic.\u00a0 The result works perfectly and his father was thankful for the improved design.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, we were invited to give a presentation to the Orrville Rotary Club.\u00a0 We discussed the success of the summer camp, a collaborative effort with the Orrville Area Boys and Girls Club.\u00a0 We also discussed the 3D Lab initiative at Wayne College, how 3D printing works, and its impact on STEM education, budding engineers, and the college\u2019s focus on polytechnic learning.\u00a0 We were well received and formed new connections with the community for future collaborative projects.\u00a0 The food was good, too.\u00a0 Thanks, Kevin Platz, for inviting us!<\/p>\n

Last but not least, Sarah Jane used the laser engraver (courtesy of the Romich Foundation) this week to make handouts for an upcoming visit to the Wooster Boys and Girls Club.\u00a0 She made some beautiful Zippy keychains, thanks to the generosity of P. Graham Dunn in Dalton.\u00a0 She found the engraver very easy to use, a good way to get started with makerspace technology.\u00a0 \u00a0Way to go, Sarah!<\/p>\n
