Intro to Resin 3D Printing Class

From Asmbly Wiki

This is an introductory course to the use of the resin printers. During the instruction, students will learn how to load and unload resin, settings, supports, and different materials that can be used on the machine, and how to navigate Form Labs Preform slicer and Chitubox basic slicer. The purpose of this class is to get the user up and running fairly quickly and achieve successful prints. Requirements:

Eye Protection as we will be working with liquids.

Come eager to learn and bring something to take notes if needed. Bringing a laptop or tablet isn’t a bad idea as the student can follow along with the web links.
