3D Printing I

About the Course

This class teaches you to use our consumer-grade 3D printers by picking and printing a design from NextFab’s curated project files. We’ll show you how to set up the printers for clean, precise prints and how to troubleshoot common issues. Upon completion, you’ll gain access to the Prusa and Lulzbot printers at each of our locations.

1. Connect to the PC connected to the Lultzbot
2. Review Cura and load a file
3. Watch your print appear
4. Unload print and review troubleshooting and next projects
