| '''Status:''' ''Slowly piecing together documentation so that new people can get going. There are several key insruction pieces, but there is nothing that starts from the beginning and takes you to the end of turning on the 3D Printing desktop, clicking on the right software, calibrating the printer, and debugging. The status now is incomplete!''

| |
| == Overview ==
| |
|
| |
| There are several steps in the 3D Printing process.
| |
|
| |
| * Hooking up the 3D Printer to a desktop or laptop computer. ''Unclear, needs to be written down''
| |
| * 3D Modelling + 3D Printed Model Software (Google Sketchup, etc) - ''What we cover in our Today I Learned'' Workshops
| |
| * Repetier-Host - open-source driver software connecting our computer with the 3D Printer
| |
| * Printer Calibration (see comics) ''Only place where we have any documentation''
| |
| * Act of Printing
| |
| * Caring of 3D Printed Objects + More ''How we remove the 3D Printed object from the printer bed, decorating the 3D Printed object, etc.''
