F.A.Q:

  • No. These classes are designed for absolute beginners. You don’t need to know anything about 3D printers or modelling.

  • Just yourself. All equipment, materials and tools are provided.

  • You’ll learn how a 3D printer works, how to slice a model, how to load filament, basic settings, and how to safely run a print from start to finish.

    Classes run for 1 hour.
    If there is a high number of attendees, the class may run longer to make sure everyone gets a chance to play with a 3D printer, at each session.

  • Yes. Every beginner student takes home a small printed item.

    If you have a 3D file that you would like to print. Bring the file to class and show the instructor. We can print it in class if time allows, or print it outside class and post it to you.

  • Classes run for 1 hour.
