3D Printing: Getting Started
by Cameron MacDonald | at Minnebar20
Are you interested in 3D printing but don't know how to get started?
This session is to give aspiring 3D printing hobbyists a rundown of what it is, what it isn't, and how to start trying it out if you're interested.
We'll be exploring:
Types of 3D printers
Types of filaments / resin
Software for creating objects
Slicing software for prepping files for printing
Caveats, considerations, and drawbacks
Safety
There will be time for a Q&A at the end for anyone who has specific questions. 3D printing is an exciting, fun, sometimes frustrating, and extremely vast and deep hobby. I hope you'll join and find out more about one of my favorite hobbies!
