3D Printer Class: Make, Learn, and Take Home Your Own 3D Printer


Course Overview: Are you ready to dive into the world of 3D printing and create your very own 3D printer from scratch? This hands-on course is perfect for makers, tinkerers, and tech enthusiasts who want to learn the ins and outs of 3D printing technology. By the end of this course, you'll not only understand how 3D printers work but also build your very own printer that you can take home and continue creating with!


What You'll Learn:

  • 3D Printer Assembly: Step-by-step guidance on assembling your 3D printer from a kit. Learn about the key components, including the frame, motors, extruders, and more, and how they all come together to create a functioning machine.
  • Calibration and Maintenance: Discover how to properly calibrate your 3D printer for optimal performance. You'll also learn essential maintenance tips to keep your printer running smoothly.
  • Introduction to 3D Printing Software: Get hands-on experience with 3D modeling and slicing software, such as Tinkercad and Cura. Learn how to design and prepare models for printing, from basic shapes to more complex structures.
  • Printing Your First Projects: Once your printer is up and running, you'll print your first projects, learning how to troubleshoot common issues and refine your prints for the best results.


Key Features:

  • Hands-on assembly and customization of your own 3D printer.
  • Comprehensive guidance from experienced instructors in both hardware and software.
  • Opportunity to explore creative projects and ideas with your new 3D printer.
  • Take home your fully assembled 3D printer at the end of the course, along with a toolkit and resources for future projects.
