We have always been extremely careful not to endorse of promote anything to do with this site as we are simply trying to highlight what works for our students and staff however the values of being sustainable and also producing unique and interesting prints to capture the imagination of the students is something that we are very much always looking to achieve.
In the example shown above we have conducted another test print using WoolyFil Filament. The print has been completed using this and the Bambu H2D. The machine needed to have the PLA set to 'generic' rather than the automatic selected Bambu PLA that we are predominantly using.
The contrast with the Suffolk sheep shown left was that this used a fair degree of regular PLA to complete for the feet and the face (although this was also recycled PLA).
This is a design that was sourced from the Bambu Lab Online portal by using the search phrase 'wool animal' to narrow down the elements. While there were a very large range of potential designs the Elephant was selected as the print was nearly entirely completed using the WoolyFil Filament.
The print measures 60mm across is 50mm deep and 70mm high. The print took three hours and thirty minutes to complete using the Bambu H2D. The print used 24g of filament to complete this had a price point of $0.60.
As we have mentioned in the past while the students aren't designing the print the idea is to get the students familiar with the material, the concepts and the idea of using different PLA to encourage them to think laterally about the designs that they could use.
