My school district won a grant that provided our K-5 school library with a Makerbot 3D printer.  I am a little bit panicked because I have never used a 3D printer.  I have not been given any training, so I will be attempting to make sense of it during my limited prep time. Honestly, I feel like I am already just managing to stay afloat.  Does anyone have words of wisdom regarding 3D printing at the elementary level? Does anyone have a Makerbot and a willingness to let me visit? I  am trying to get excited about it and imagine some uses for it.  Thanks in advance for any help!
