The Makerspace just purchased a Bambu Labs H2D 3D printer. If you want to learn about 3D printing and don't want to spend thousands on a high end machine, consider becoming a member. These machines are the most user-friendly 3D printers on the market. Don't know if you're interested? Contact us for a tour at [email protected]
