Events › 3D Printing 101 Certification: In Person

This class enables customers to book appointments for the Prusa i3 MK3S and MK3S+ 3D printers at the Stanley A. Milner Library's Makerspace. Once you've attended this class, staff will complete your training on the 3D printer's operation during your first 3D printer booking.

In this class EPL will cover:

• Basic 3D printing concepts, materials, and equipment terminology.
• Safe use of a 3D printer, guidelines for use at EPL, and material fees.
• Key design constraints through an example created in free web-based application TinkerCAD.
• Profiles, settings, and slicing process with PrusaSlicer.

For this course, it's recommended that:

• Participants are comfortable typing, mousing, and navigating Windows OS files and folders.
• Participants create a free TinkerCAD account before the class.
• Participants download free PrusaSlicer (drivers & apps) to follow along with the slicing demonstration, however, this is optional.

The class will delivered in-person in the Blind Enthusiasm Computer Lab at the Stanley A. Milner library. If you can not attend this in-person class, 3D Printing 101 is also available as an on demand class. 

This class is designed for ages 13 and up. We welcome younger customers to participate - they may need help from a parent or caregiver for the class.
