Intro to 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing

In this intro class, you'll take the first step to 3D printing by learning to slice, melt, and extrude your own plastic creations. Class Description This introductory course is for anyone who wants to get into 3D printing, a type of additive manufacturing. Specifically, you will learn how to use the Prusa printers in the Digifab lab, a type of fused deposition modeling printer. By the end of the class, you'll learn about designing parts for 3D printing, slicing parts, and exporting GCode to the printers so they know where to move. The class will also include testing on the machines so that you can start printing whatever you like within the constraints of these machines. The materials fee for this class is $10. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts Venmo. *This class includes Tool Testing on the following: Standard FDM printers, which include: the Prusa Mk3 (3), Creality Ender 3S1 (2), Creality Ender 3 Max, Creality Ender 5 Plus, Creality K1, and Bambu P1P.
