As I said then, please find the design you would like to print and send me a link to the page it is on. (Using the comments section below.) Please do not choose a design that costs money; we'll pay for the filament to print your object, but we won't pay for a design.
Here is a 2.5 minute video showing how the printer works.

Here are free modeling programs (graphics software in which you can create three dimensional drawings called models) that let you design your own objects. You may want to learn about mesh or solid models.
- Autodesk 123D here is a download page for PC, Mac or Ipad, plus video tutorials I am not sure if these are free . . .
- Tinkercad
- Makerbot (this is a free download, but we will not be printing with makerbot printer - please check to see if your design is compatible with cubify)
Or use this: Design Something is a cloud based design program for use with your Chromebook.
- click on Help for a 5 minute tutorial that should get you up and running . . .
Here are some Apps that might help you design on your Ipod, tablet, phone . . .
Cubify - from the makers of the 3D printer we'll be using.
Instructables -
Tinkerplay - here's an article about it (I tried it - you choose parts and assemble a character - enhance

You can end up with something that looks like this:
