Saturday Workshop

Get certified to use the AIC’s 3D printers while creating a personalized keychain or bag tag. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn to operate the Prusa MK3S 3D printer through a simple project featuring their name or initials.

Using an online 3D model generator, you’ll create a keychain or bag tag, then prepare the file for printing using PrusaSlicer. You’ll learn how to set up and operate the printer, including how to change filament colors partway through a print.

What you’ll learn:

• Safe operation and basic use of the Prusa MK3S 3D printer
• How to navigate PrusaSlicer and prepare a model for printing
• How to load and change filament, including a mid-print color change
• How to start, monitor, and remove a completed print
• How to book and manage 3D printer time during Open Maker Hours

Certified individuals may use the 3D printers during Open Maker Hours after demonstrating proficiency.

Prerequisite: No previous 3D printing experience required.
