Objective
Create a 3D printed sign to welcome the community to the Board Room in the Knox 111 Administrative Offices.


Design

Former Olympia High School Student Orion Hoppe (class of 2024) worked with the Maker’s Den to create the design which is a mosaic of 3D printed parts inspired by the 'We the Builders' project. Andrew Woodbridge’s Advanced 3D Design & Fabrication students at OHS will be managing the project, collecting the parts, and assembling the mosaic.


How will it work

Members of the Olympia School District community (staff, students, families and community members) who have access to a 3D printer can request a part to make. They will then print the part and send it in.

The sign will be mounted at the entrance to the board room in the Knox 111 Administrative Offices, along with a plaque that lists the schools and classrooms that participated.

 

Timeline

  • September 16 - October 18: Parts are requested by filling out this form
  • November 1: Last day to send parts for inclusion.
  • November 4-30: Sign is assembled
  • December 12: The finished sign is unveiled at the School Board Meeting


Technical Details

  • Each part will be no larger than 4” x 3” x 3” and should fit on most 3D printers
  • Color Specifications:
    • Background pieces should be printed in darker colors; the exact color is up to you. You may wish to represent your school’s color, or use what filament you have on hand.
    • Lettering,along with the district logo, should be printed in a white or light pastel color.
  • Each part should be printed in PLA or PETG with 15% infill and 3 wall thickness. The parts should be printed with the part number on top surface parallel to the build plate.

 

Submitting Parts

  1. Each part should be placed in an envelope with the part code on it.
  2. Envelopes should be labeled with: Mr. Woodbridge, Olympia High School, Your Part Number (like J3).
  3. Drop the envelope off at Olympia High School main office (there will be a box) OR ask your school’s front office to place it in OSD interdistrict mail.
