Maker Basics: 3D Printing

Curious about turning your ideas into tangible objects? 🤔

In just two hours, you'll:

• Discover how FDM 3D printing works and what you can create 🏗️
• Get familiar with our lineup of 3D printers: 2 Prusa i3 MK3S+, a Bambu X1C, and a Bambu H2C
• Learn about different filament types, how to load and unload them, and which jobs are appropriate for which printer 🎨
• Learn basic design software techniques to shape your ideas into physical forms 💻

With practical demos, examples, and a few creative challenges, you’ll leave with a strong grasp of these technologies and the confidence to bring your own projects to life! 🚀

⚠️ This workshop focuses on basic tools and techniques. The point is to get your hands on the tools so you can come back and use the workshop on your own. You will not complete your own project in this workshop.

⚠️ Please note that some of the machinery in the FabLab may be dangerous, and all participants are required to sign a liability waiver before attending.
