Williston Central School Helps Out


In their attempt to fill UVM Medical Center's need for 1,000 face shields, Generator (Burlington's Maker Space) needed more PRUSA 3D printers. Williston Central School has just such a technical 3D printer--which is usually humming all March, printing out the scale models of historical Williston buildings for a 3D Vermont competition.

WCS librarian Ellen Arapakos answered the call, brought the PRUSA 3D printer over to Generator, set it up, and ran calibration tests so it was ready to print!


Amazing volunteers at Generator were busy using all the Prusa printers they could get and their laser cutter to manufacture face shields and intubation boxes.

It's nice to know that even when our school buildings are closed, the 3D printer can be busy printing PPE for UVM Health Care workers!




WCS is listed as a sponsor on Generator's COVID-19 Relief page. Way to go Ellen and WCS! We are #CVSDStrong.
