We ♥ Ducks!

OK, I have a confession.  I bought an entire roll of yellow filament, just so I could print ducks.  Truly.  And it was worth it.  These used a design downloaded from Thingiverse, cleverly titled Duck.  It prints like a charm, with just a tiny bit of support material under its wings.





Of course, everything is cuter in a smaller size and multiples, so the kids were excited to try that. Everything we printing well, and I left to teach my tech classes.  When I came back... we clearly had a duck malfunction.


With just the surviving five, the kids were hooked.  Now they ALL want ducks.  The best part it that they are very powerful motivators in these last few weeks of school...
