3D Printer Certification: MakerBot
May 23, 2018 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Learn how to use the MakerBot 3D printers in our MakerLab. This session will cover how to change filament, find objects to 3D print, set up your print job and troubleshoot the printers. During the class, each participant can choose a sample object to print from several preselected projects. Please note that due to limited print time during classes, we will be unable to print other things. After attending this class, you will be able to reserve time on the MakerBot printers to print your own projects.
The MakerLab has three MakerBot printers: the MakerBot Replicator 5th Gen, Mini and Replicator 2X.
Participants of all ages are welcome to attend the class, but those under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
We also have a Lulzbot Mini printer in our MakerLab. If you are interested in learning this machine, please check the MakerLab calendar for upcoming 3D Printer Cerfication: Lulzbot classes.
