  • PRINT marvel, and take home.

Learn

  • 3D Printing Theory
  • Sketchup
    • Navigation
    • Basic Shapes
    • Shape Manipulation
    • Advanced Shapes
      • Exporting
  • Slic3r slicing software (in a minor way)
  • Repetier Host Printer Software (in a minor way)

Bring

  • Come with a laptop with sketchup installed there's a free version for Windows and Mac. If you don't have this installed you we cannot begin immediately.
