Workshops are conducted on a regular basis. If you are interested to to find out the next available course date, please PM or email me at [email protected]
Classes are limited to 5-6 students only and they fill up very quickly! You benefit directly from the knowledge of 3D print experts and a pool of 3D Printing students and other enthusiasts. The course focuses on hands-on building of your very own
printer and thus has only a minimum of boring theory. Through building your own printer, you learn the operation of its various hardware and software components. You will become an expert of your own printer! The course consists of 12-15 intensive hours, split over 3-4 Sundays and includes everything you need to build and own your own 3D printer! The printer kit is included in the course fee, so at the end of the course, you will take home your very own printer that you have just built! Who is the course for:
• Students, Professionals, Designers, Sculptors, Artists, Architects, Fashionistas, Makers, Hobbyists, Gamers, Boys and Girls 18-99 years old
• You want to learn how to build and operate your own printer but do not know where to start?
• Besides basic assembly skills, you do not need any knowledge about this new technology
• If you enjoy making, fixing, assembling and invent stuff, this workshop is for you!
• You are more interested in the hands-on building and understanding of your 3D printer rather than learn boring theory
What you need to bring:
• Good humor and attitude is always a plus ;-)
• Basic assembly skills are required (such as assembling model car, airplane or similar)
• Bring your own basic tools such as a simple 2.5mm hex Allen Hex Key and Utility Knife; a basic electronics screwdriver set is an advantage
• After assembling the printer, you need to buy the consumables such as PLA filament, glue stick, SD card (optional), kapton tape, and various other tools and spare parts. I will tell you where you can buy it. This is the rough schedule of the workshop:
• Day 1: Build the printer base, top and side towers of the frame, assemble extruder, sliding rails etc.
• Day 2: Assemble the spider, hotend, fan bracket, attach LCD, finalize all wirings and building the frame
• Day 3: Upload Firmware to printer, adjust printer height in Firmware, test endstops, hotend, motor direction, print test cube
