Intro to 3D Printing

3D printing has become a very popular hobby in the maker community in the last decade. However, a lot of people still don’t know where to begin. This 3D printing basics class is a good place to start.

3D Printing Basics covers the core areas of 3D printing you need to know about to begin 3D printing for yourself. Participants will learn concepts on how a 3D printer works, what different plastics are available, and other core concepts. Then, participants will learn about how to select a model for 3D printing, prepare it to be turned into instructions a 3D printer can use, and how to get those instructions to the printer. Finally, participants will learn some 3D printer maintenance like changing filament and cleaning a bed.

This class does NOT cover resin printing in great detail.

There are no requirements for this class other than bringing yourself. A print is started at the beginning of the class so participants can have something to bring home at the end of the class.
