3D Printed: EcoSphere Closed Aquatic Ecosystem Aquarium Stand
My EcoSphere Closed Aquatic Ecosystem Aquarium & New Stand
My handsome man made me a 3D printed stand for the EcoSphere Closed Aquatic Ecosystem Aquarium. The aquarium has been sitting on the dresser downstairs which has a glass top so it can easily slide. The stand helps it stay in place on the dresser. When you look through the aquarium at the stand the blue look like waves. Thankful for a thoughtful husband who uses his 3D printer to make items that can be used around the house.

The aquarium looks pretty cool with its new blue 3D printed stand!
3D Printed: STEM Rockets & Planets
3D Printed STEM Club Rockets
We used our 3D printer to print STEM Rockets and Planets for the kids STEM Club. They used them at the state competition as trading goodies with other teams. The rockets turned out better than the planets, but both were good for trading. The girls had fun sharing them with their friends and other teams.
Their STEM Club did very well this year and brought home trophies both from district and state. Thankful for the opportunity to watch the girls learn and grow with their STEM Club. They enjoyed participating in the planning, robotics, competition, and a multitude of other activities. Glad Jake was able to make these fun 3D printed items for them to share!

3D Printed: Heart Puzzle
Super cool heart puzzle my husband made for me with his 3D printer.
While I was away Jake made me a 3D printed heart puzzle, love my man! It was a sweet surprise when I came home! He is so thoughtful! The “flowers” or gears on the heart rotates around and when all of them are aligned it looks like the heart in the pictures. Super cool! The girls thought it was fascinating too!
The pieces had to be printed in several settings and then he clipped them together to form the puzzle. So thankful for my man. He is always doing things to brighten my day! Love him!
3D Printed: Vacuum Cleaner Attachment
My new vacuum cleaner attachment!
One of the cool and very practical items Jake has printed for me using his 3D printer is a vacuum cleaner attachment! Yes, I know it is crazy to get excited about a vacuum cleaner attachment, but I do. My husband knows me very well and this was a perfect gift to print!
The vacuum attachment works well to help easily empty out my household vacuum dirt bin. The new 3D printed attachment is on the vacuum in the garage and when my regular house vacuum dirt bin is full all I have to do it put the container up to the attachment, turn on the garage vacuum, and it is completely cleaned out. No more taking apart the dirty vacuum bin to empty it into a trash can and trying to get out the carpet fuzz or random items that like to get stuck in the corners of the bin. It is a quick, easy, and less messy way to empty my vacuum dirt bin! Thankful for my husband and his thoughtfulness.
Who knew you could print the perfect vacuum cleaner attachment? Awesome!
3D Printed: Toy Dog
3D printer black toy dog!
Shortly after getting his 3D printer Jake printed something special for each of the girls. Brina wanted a dog so he did a 3D print out of a black toy dog. She was so excited when the dog was finally printed! She carried her new dog around with her and it sits in a special place on her dresser. Thankful for Jake and what he does to make his girls feel treasured. For Karlie he printed a 3D rocket which was a perfect piece for her!

It is amazing to think that this was actually printed! So cool! Watching the printer is very mesmerizing.
3D Printed: Heart & Name Keychains
“Love” Keychain
The first thing Jake printed with his PrintrBot Simple Maker’s 3D Printer once he got it assembled was a “love” keychain for me. I have it hanging up in the van and love seeing it. The first few items took some time and adjustments to get the printer to print correctly. You will notice as we share more of the items that he prints using the 3D printer that they will be even more uniform. He’s such a sweetheart to make something for me first. Love him!
Karlie and Brina’s new keychains to hang on their backpacks.
Karlie’s is ready!
Brina’s is ready!
Jake had this waiting for Brina one day before school, she was very excited!
Karlie was thrilled to find her new keychain at breakfast!
Love It – PrintrBot Simple Maker’s 3D Printer
So excited to watch him open this gift!!!
After a few months of saving my spending cash I was able to get my husband the PrintrBot Simple Maker’s 3D Printer for our anniversary. I was surprised that it came in such a small package! 3D printers are starting to become more popular and this one was a little less expensive because you had to put it together. Jake and the girls thought it was awesome being able to build a printer!
Several of the pieces inside the 3D Printer had “Point of No Return” stickers which was kind of funny! They read – “The option to return your PrintrBot will self destruct after opening this bag.”
It came in pieces that needed to be assembled! Jake thought it was great!
It didn’t take him long to get it together and start printing some neat stuff!
It is a neat printer! The whole family has enjoyed it! The girls have even been able to make a few items for their school projects too!
You can pickup one of the PrintrBot Simple Maker’s 3D Printer for yourself or someone special at Amazon or from PrintBot!
