3-D Printer

 Good Will has a 3D printer for sale.  Here are the specs.  It lists for $700 on. Amazon.  You probably don’t need a 3-D printer.  Our local library system has several Makerlabs.  I was ‘badged’ on their 3-D printer—meaning I was trained.  Here’s the thing.  Printing is slllloooooowwww.  You can print cool things such as this Frog Dissection Kit, available free at Thingaverse, which has Baby Yoda among hundreds of thousands free plans to print.  Using a 3-D printer is not hard.  I doubt I could draw up original plans; but the process itself  is easy.  The plastic filament is not expensive.  Check your local library to see if they have a 3D printer and training.  Then you can browse Thingsverse for your own plans.
