3D Printing Crash Course

What you'll learn

• Real-world design brief walkthrough — constraints, materials, trade-offs
• Analyzing design choices: wall thickness, assembly method, material selection
• Print and evaluate a functional product against the brief
• Group critique: does the design solve the problem? What would you change?
• Plan your next project: constraints, design source, settings, success criteria
• Finding designs on Thingiverse, Printables, and Makerverse

Materials included

• Sensor mount file (pre-printed or printed during workshop)
• Design brief documentation and reference photos

What to bring

• A laptop with either Prusa slicer or Bambu studio installed (optional, you can also just follow along)
