Introduction to 3D Printing ($20)

No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Payment can be made via PayPal, credit cards, or cash in person. All instructors at Noisebridge are volunteers. 100% of your donation is tax-deductible and supports Noisebridge directly.

This class is meant to get you from 0 to your first 3D print.

In this class the full workflow from design to printed object will be demonstrated.

Topics covered:

• Where and how to design or download objects (TinkerCAD/Printables/MakerWorld)
• Filament types, when to use which, and how to handle them
• How to convert your design into a file that's able to be printed
• How to print with supports, make objects stronger, and adjust quality
• How to load and unload filament and general print prep
• How to send your design to the printer and watch it go!

If you are interested you can use one of our 3D printers after the class to apply what you have learned. It's recommended to bring a laptop if you plan to do your own prints. There are no guarantees that a printer will be available. They are first-come-first-serve and are used for many different Noisebridge projects.
