Yes - a failed print. A student worked hard on designing some things to be printed, but ultimately it failed. Our understanding of the 3D printer (and other things in our space) is growing daily, but we are still very much novices in how these devices work.
The beauty of this, however, is that we can have great discussions about what it means to fail in our space. We can make a plan for learning from that. Failure is a part of life. It is never fun. To reach our full potential and achieve and create great things, we'll likely fail numerous times. How we respond means everything.
For our makerspace to truly be successful, it needs to be a place where students cannot only fail, but a place where they are supported to grow from those failures to make the awesome happen.
