When I joined a week ago, I was stunned by how many #3DPrinting folks are already here. Great "Starter Packs" below!

Another mathematical model! 🎉

"Conic Sections Cone" shows a hyperbola, parabola, ellipse, and circle formed by planes cutting a cone. Both nappes of the cone together illustrates the two branches of a hyperbola.

Now at Cults3D. More in comments.

Two New Posts! 🎉🎉
My son and I designed this "Game Board with Markers" and "Game Spinner" inspired by his project for school. Add your own themed elements to the game board. Make your own rules and have fun! Links and Spinner photos in comments.
Both available now at Cults3D. @cults3d.bsky.social

Oh! What is this new tag on Cults3D?!
This is exciting to see this morning. Maybe it's not new, but it's new to me. 😊🔥

I'm trying to get caught up with my posts over the break this week. Here is another one (actually a few!) coming soon...

What did I print today? Sine and Cosine!
These are for math teachers in my department getting ready to teach trigonometry. An amazing, hands-on illustration of some trig identities!

"Unit Circle Triangles & Tray" now at Cults3D. 🎉
I made worksheets too that fit the triangles perfectly. My colleagues are eager to use these in upcoming lessons and I've been printing class sets of triangles in Jessie PLA.

First day of Thanksgiving Break and we're getting our Dinosaur Blocks Kit Cards ready to ship for the Xmas Print Drive. Not as many prints to send this year, but thrilled I was able to contribute a design! Happy Holidays! 🦕🎄🦖
See comments too.

Hey, Printed Solid! Did you slip a few extra grams onto my spool? I set up "spool join" on my XL last night, but I didn't need it! My 5th print of these trays that PrusaSlicer said would be 213.40 g of Jessie PLA, all on a new spool and there is still some left over. Sweet!

Another teacher and I received a small grant from our school's parent foundation for 3D printing to support our math classes. Thinking class sets for hands on for students and larger models for display. When choosing filament, it was Printed Solid Jessie PLA all the way! @printedsolid.bsky.social

🎉 New Post: Saddle Surfaces!
These were inspired by some of my Calculus III lessons. I'm excited to share them with my students! I particularly like the contour map surfaces and will probably use the technique again more.

My "Double Integral" models are now at Cults3D.

These are terrific for my Calculus III class, and the added bonus is that my younger students started asking questions about higher-order mathematics as well!

Over 60 models included. Link in my bio and below in comments. @cults3d.bsky.social

New post! 🎉 Exponential Curves!
They can be used for logarithmic functions too. These have worked really well in class with my students. Now available at Cults3D in 4 versions and with STL files for fast class set printing. PDF blank axes also included. @cults3d.bsky.social

New post! 🦕 Dinosaur Wall Art! 🦖
My Dinosaur Blocks are so cute that I wanted a way to display them bigger! Easy to rescale, these have a lot of possibilities.

Oh, Yeah!
This will be fantastic for front-of-the-class demos.
And I printed it in PETG! Not my usual material at all.
Printed Solid Cyan PETG. Model soon to Cults3D.

My printed exponential curves worked well in my lesson! Many students (though not all) thought it helped to better visualize what was going on as we transformed the functions. Students commented they liked "hands-on" approach. Curves w/ bases 2, 3, e, 10 coming soon to Cults3D. @cults3d.bsky.social

A new variation... Dino Wall Art! 🦕🦖
Less than 1 hour per print. Coming soon to Cults3D.

Last minute idea for today's lesson: Exponential Functions. Each one is the curve y = 2^x. I made a class set for myself and each of the other Math 1 Honors teachers. Maybe e^x is next, or a longer tail toward the asymptote... 🤔

Woah! Atomic Filament "Bug Eyes" and Printed Solid "Yellow Bird." This kit card was printed with three filament swaps at key heights. I think I like the bottom side better than the top! 🦕🦖

I'm so happy with how my Dinosaur Kit Card came together when printed on my @prusa3d.com XL! Check out the flip side in the comments below. 🦕🦖
