Students at all levels now print plastic objects due to the low cost ofplastic materials used. However, failed and/or unwanted prints, as well as support material, arediscarded. In this work, a sustainable 3D printing laboratory is described. 3D printed objects andsupporting structures are recycled by first shredding the plastic parts using a two-step process,then mixing

The emphasis on these steps was in part due to the importanceof doing background research in order for the team members to become well versed on thetheory, use, and application of cloning chambers in greenhouses.The project was a novel and challenging experience for all people involved, particularly for thestudents working on the project. It was an interesting experience for the small businesssponsoring the project (expectations and requirements when sponsoring a senior project),students in the classroom (need to learn about the topic in order provide feedback and evaluateprogress), and the faculty

isconcluded that while, such things as pre-class work to introduce a new topic to students can beeffectively automated through videos and slide modules, student learning the operation of a newpiece of equipment requires instructor-student interactions. Additionally, in the interest of safetyfor both students and equipment, an initial tutorial, such as pre-class work and the presence ofthe instructor during laboratory sessions is recommended.Bibliography1 Bishop, J.L. and Verleger, M.A. "The flipped classroom: a survey of the research" 120th ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition, June 2013.2.
