This is a design for 3d printing a physical 3d graphing manipulative for students who need a manipulative or scaffolding to understand or visualize a 3d graphing area. Grid is in 1 centimeter increments. you can measure from origin to a point using a centimeter ruler or a skewer with 1 centimeter marks print 6 gridbrackets 2 gridrailclips and one of everything else You can print with whatever you want. I used multicolored PLA because it's cheap and plentiful and if a student breaks it it's easy to replace except for the gridbrackets which are made of TPU so they snap on and off easily.
