3D Printing Basics (Snapmaker Edition)

Time: Jun 29 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM
Host: Paul Shackelford
Ages: 10 and up

Learn the basics of 3D printing and how to use the filament printers at MakeICT!
(Note: Resin printing is a separate class, keep on the lookout for those)

We'll cover how 3D printing works, materials used in 3D printing, importing 3D files into slicer software, and important techniques for successful printing. Each participant will get a chance to practice with the software and print a small object to take home. Sample models will be provided, but participants may also bring in an STL file of a small (~3cm³) object to try out.

Completion of this class will grant authorization for using the filament 3D printers at MakeICT.

This class requires you to bring your own laptop. Please install the latest version of Snapmaker Orca (https://www.snapmaker.com/snapmaker-orca).
