This is a hands on course that requires full participation of its attendees. As such, all attendees will need access to a computer. In its basic form, the training will cover the following:
• Preparing your design to print. Not all 3D designs are fit to print. We’ll guide you through the process of modifying your design so its fit to print on your machine.
• Learning to use your slicer. Slicing a file for a specific machine is both an art and a science. This vital portion of the course will guide you from model orientation to support application to infill.
• Operating your printer. Each 3D printer has its own unique printing charactaristics and we’ll work with you to get the most out of yours. You’ll learn levelling, build plate preparation, filament loading and more.
• Maintaining your printer. 3D printers require regular maintenance and attention to keep running at full capacity. We’ll give you the basic knowledge of cleaning, unclogging and more to ensure you keep printing.
