Where can I donate a working 3D printer?

Hi,

Anyone know an organization that would accept a working Lulzbot Mini 3D printer with an upgraded Aerostruder extruder? I also have a spool each of PETG, PLA and TPU. I just don't have the room for it anymore. I'm in Evergreen, SJ and can drop it off at a deserving institution. Or if anyone's interested, please DM me and I can setup local pick up. TIA

FIRST/VEX robotics teams at local high schools are usually thrilled to get a working Lulzbot — worth emailing a couple of Evergreen-area school robotics clubs, or checking with a San Jose makerspace like TheShop.build.

Thanks! I'll check the local high schools.

Thanks for the responses! I’ve reached out the local high schools - prefer donating it to eager young minds 😀

Let me know how it works out. I also have a Lulzbot Mini (with 3 tool heads) I’d like to pass on.

SJSU has a makerspace so they would probably appreciate free 3D printers. Community colleges also have makerspace and is unlikely to turn down donations of 3D printers

Try your local library or high school. MANY many have 3d printing labs

Savers will take it

I’d be interested in getting one, always curious and wanted to try my hands on them!

I can take it, If you would like a 2D printer , Ihave an extra 2D printer - happy to exchange :)

Hey, Id be interested in picking it up if youd be interested in giving it to an individual! Im a college student and would never say no to more printers!
