A Three-Dimensional Printer for Sustainable Scavengers<br\/>\r\nLondon Central Secondary School<\/h3>\r\nThe stench of chemicals filled the air as the melted plastic slid out the nozzle and on to the platform supported by neon-orange springs. It\u2019s ready. A three dimensional printer can turn ideas into reality by melting plastic filament (Hull, 1984), and I decided to build one. A 3D printer is similar to the laser and inkjet printer, as it prints in layers (Bynum, 1992), except now these layers are building up with plastic. This project aims to build a 3D printer and highlight the intricate sub-machines that can be taken by scavenging from other machines. This project required mechanical work, electronics and a bit of coding knowledge. It is important because it uses recycled materials to develop a more affordable way to build a 3D printer, while also acknowledging that some aspects will be lost. Accuracy, ease-of-use and straightforward build-ability is sacrificed for sustainability, affordability and availability of parts.\r\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n<a href = \"https:\/\/projectboard.world\/ysc\/project\/cant-afford-accuracy-a-three-dimensional-printer-for-sustainable-scavengers\">ProjectBoard Link<\/a>\r\n\r\n<table class=\"award_table\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Award<\/th>\r\n<th>Value<\/th>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Excellence Award - Senior Bronze Medal\r\nSponsor: Youth Science Canada<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Western University Entrance Scholarship<\/td>\r\n<td>$1000<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>University of Ottawa Entrance Scholarship<\/td>\r\n<td>$1000<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-17903","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 5.0.2 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/tvsef.ca\/?page_id=17903\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO Pro (AIOSEO) 5.0.2\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Youth Science London\/Thames Valley Science &amp; Engineering Fair - Grade 4-12 Science Engineering Fair.
