Michigan (kid) creators out there?

My son got into 3d printing a while back and has really enjoyed coming up with UM-themed projects. 

I suspect that there are a number of other Mgokids who have done similar artsty-crafty things with a Michigan focus and my son and I would love to see other examples in the comments.

Thanks and Go Blue!

I used 3D printing as learning tool when I worked at a school for kids with disabilities. I would sometimes sneak in my own prints into the cue, then ended up buying one of my own as they became more affordable. This is one of the Michigan-related things I made, a 2-piece coaster that's about 7-8 years old by now.

Congrats and well done to him! If you're looking for adjacent projects, a home laser can cut just about any intricate shape you want out of cardboard or balsa, etc, even good for woodworking projects like backlit 3D lamps. Transfer printers can put patterns, logos, and text on a wide range of things, from phone cases, to custom shirts, to tile, to posters, and other wall hangings. Pretty much anything you want bedazzled.

My 11 year old son has a YT channel where he does a lot of edits, though not necessarily all Michigan-related.

My wife has dictated it is time to pass on the hand knit newborn hats you see in my profile pic.

Only problem is not many parents of twins exist here in Columbus. 

If you are expecting twins, lemme know.
