Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 13/04/2025This is a great question, but I just don’t think there’s such a thing as “planning” anymore. That was voted out. 020
Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Fifth grader created a D and D dice roller with #tinkercad and #3dprinting. #dungeonsanddragons 031

Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 09/04/2025Again , #strava, read the room. I cannot afford the recommended upgrade at this time—particularly with the ongoing market volatility. 020

Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 05/02/2025This #tinkercad Codeblocks design illustrates the concept of functions. The red shape on the bottom is the function, and it's "called" to form the orange parts. #makered #coding #3dprinting 071
Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 03/02/2025A successful crumple zone crash test from this AM. 7th graders iterate their #3dprinting #tinkercad designs that plug into the yellow car. More effective crumple zones make the impact board move less. #MakerEd #EDUsky #steam @ubermeisters.bsky.social 131
Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Thanks so much for this! I use Prusa also, so this should be very helpful. 010
Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Wow, that is such a neat idea! They are 7th graders using Chromebooks, so they don’t use the slicer. However, I could show them options to vote on and we could print 3 or something like that. Would you have a screenshot or two of how you select just a portion of a print and then remove the shell? 110
Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Haha. Yes Jesse did very well. I’ll post a video of the actual impacts. Great thing is that the kids with less successful designs can redesign and retest because 3d printing = rapid prototyping. 020

Students exported as an SVG & inverted shape in Cricut to cut out onto cardstock for fun holiday greeting cards!

Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 17/12/2024We built up skills with cardboard in a couple of projects, then I set them loose on @darrellwakelam.bsky.social ‘s website and told them to take inspiration where you will. That guy is such a treasure! 110

Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Our staff holiday party is tonight, and I’m bringing this basket (maybe for car keys?) as my white elephant contribution. It’s designed with #tinkercad #codeblocks. 011
Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 02/12/2024My 8th graders are just starting to work with #tinkercad Codeblocks. Today we'll create "objects"; basically, a procedure we can call. Here, the object is "tree", which I'm placing randomly 9 times in a snowy field. #makered 001
Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Had some good items out for a classroom tour the other week. Automatons that are activated by cams driven by servos controlled with Micro:bits, plus students' crumple zones 3D printed to protect a crash-test car, etc. 020
Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Hey, so I agree with / appreciate every post of yours I've seen, but I'm unfollowing you just because of the volume of your posts. For me, a cadence of 2ish a day would be right, but beyond that, and I'm swimming in despair. Can't do it. That's just me. Thanks for fighting this fight though. 030
Rob Morrill @morrill.bsky.social · 01/12/2024As a prelude to thinking in 3D and also in terms of additive manufacturing, 7th graders built with bricks on their first day of the trimester. #tinkercad came next. #makered 011
