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.

- Navigation
- Zoom/Orbit/Pan
- Set views
- Basic Shapes
- Rectangle/Line/Circle/Polygon
- Precise measurements
- Shape Manipulation
- Push/pull
- Move vertice/edge
- Rotate
- Scale

- Exporting
- Navigation
- 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 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.
