3D Printed Custom Bookmark

After receiving our first classroom 3D Printer we needed a simple project that we would be able to print quickly. The goal was that every student in our grade would have their own 3D printed project before school ended in three weeks. This project was a perfect introduction that had the right amount of customization to motivate students.
