*'''PRINT''' marvel, and take home.
 
==Learn==
On the right you'll see some examples of what I've 3D printed at sudo room, having learned all my skills at sudo room, from sudoers.
*Introductions
**Level of 3d modelling experience (none required)
*3D Printing Theory
*Sketchup (many options, but this is easiest, not necessarily most powerful or precise)
**Navigation
***Zoom/Orbit/Pan
***Set views
**Basic Shapes
***Rectangle/Line/Circle/Polygon
***Precise measurements
**Shape Manipulation
***Push/pull
***Move vertice/edge
***Rotate
***Scale
***Scale -1 Trick
***Offset
**Advanced Shapes
***Group
***Follow me
***Outershell
**Misc
***Tape/Erase
**Ready? Let's Make something. Learner's requests?
**Exporting
***[https://github.com/SketchUp/sketchup-stl RBZ File]
*Slic3r slicing software (in a minor way)
**Sometimes can need NetFabb fixing
*Repetier Host Printer Software (in a minor way)
*How to manually adjust the 3d printer in times of crisis.
 
==Bring==
*Come with a laptop with [http://www.sketchup.com/ sketchup] installed. There's a free version for Windows and Mac. If you don't have this installed, you cannot begin immediately.
*Bring a mouse. Sketchup is much easier with a mouse, and all but impossible to learn with the track pad. Essential.
