Hello and welcome! Interested in learning about 3D printing as a hobby and/or to start your own business? Then you are in the right place! I’m offering 3D printing classes & workshops at my studio in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I’ll give you an overview of entry level 3D printing that will get you well on your way to printing your own stuff. I enjoy teaching the stuff I wish I’d known before I started and this class will certainly be that!
“Intro to 3D Printing” Workshops will last 2.5 hours with 8 slots per class. Approximately half presentation, half Q&A and hands-on with the printers. A partial list of what will be covered:
FDM (fused deposition modeling), which uses a thermoplastic to print objects.
Resin printing, which uses ultraviolet reactive resins to print.
A primer on using free resources to print and create your own models.
Slicing, or how you create the code for the printer to do its thing.
I’ll demo a variety of FDM 3D printers & printing materials
I’ll show you how I use Raspberry Pi’s running Octoprint to control the printers via a browser over WiFi.
I’ll give you a cheat sheet of the online resources I’ve found most valuable.
The class will be taught at an “adult” level, but will likely be accessible to high school aged kids if not younger.
I’m considering offering parent/child packages and putting together 3D printing day camps this summer, if there is interest.
