Maker Skills Course: 3D printing
Details
Always wanted to learn how to use a 3D printer? After completing the Maker Skills Course, you're able to work with it in Waag's Fablab.
### What are you going to learn?
During this course you will learn how to operate the FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers at the Fablab. After this course, you are allowed to use the 3D printers on Thursdays during the open days of the lab (10-17 hrs, on appointment and depending on availability). The course consists of:
- How to prepare your file for 3D printing (using PrusaSlicer and Ultimaker Cura)
- What filaments you can use
- Working with the Ultimaker 2+, the Prusa MK3S and the Creality Ender 3
- Printing something!
Please note that this is not a 3D modelling course: for this course you are expected to know how to create 3D models (STL, OBJ, etc.) in your preferred software (Blender, Fusion 360, Rhino, or any other modelling software). Please bring your laptop with PrusaSlicer and Ultimaker Cura already installed.
### Where and when?
The course is given at the Fablab in the Waag on the Nieuwmarkt 4 in Amsterdam on Friday December 16, 2022 from 14-17 hrs. Future dates to be determined.

For makers who are looking for a place to experiment, create and meet like-minded people. Open source documentation is very important to us, so we expect you to write your own documentation on the use of the machine. If you can demonstrate that you know how to use the 3D printer safely, you are allowed to use it. This workshop is not aimed at people looking for commercial production; instead we want to enable local artists, designers and other creatives to develop open source projects.
### Costs
The course is €75,- per person. There’s a capacity of 4-6 people. Materials, coffee and tea are included.
