Classes
Class 1
Intro to 3D Printing
Get comfortable with 3D printers and print your first object. No experience needed – we start from scratch. You'll watch a live print demo, learn how FDM printing works, and take home three demo projects.
- Duration
- 2.5 hours
- Price
- $45 $25 (pilot discount)
- Prerequisites
- None
What you'll learn
- Live printer demo – watch a print from start to finish
- How FDM 3D printing works, common materials (PLA, PETG)
- Printer overview: Bambu Lab A1 and Prusa MK3.5
- What makes a design "printable" – overhangs, supports, print orientation
- Print techniques: articulated, mechanical assembly, multi-color
- Hands-on: examine and take home 3 demo projects (articulated keychain, MTG life counter, fidget tool)
- Safety and machine care basics
Class 2
Advanced: Print Quality, Materials & Design
Level up your understanding of design quality, materials, and print settings. You'll compare good vs. poor designs, dive deep into material properties, and learn to troubleshoot common failures.
- Duration
- 2 hours
- Price
- $45 $25 (pilot discount)
- Prerequisites
- Intro to 3D Printing (recommended)
What you'll learn
- Case studies: well-designed vs. poorly-designed parts for 3D printing
- Materials deep dive – PLA vs. PETG: when to use each and trade-offs
- Print settings that matter: nozzle temp, layer height, infill, supports
- Hands-on: compare parts printed with different settings and materials
- Troubleshooting common failures: warping, stringing, layer separation
- Licensing overview – non-commercial use, where to get commercial licenses (Patreon, designer sites)
