3D Printer Training x Oakland

Learn how to use the 3D printers at Prototype PGH! This workshop will introduce the basics of 3D printing and provide a practical demonstration of how to operate our two 3D printers, the Prusa Mini FDM printer and Elegoo Mars resin/SLA printer. No prior experience needed!
After attending this workshop, Prototype members will be cleared to use the 3D printers in our North Oakland location on your own. This training will NOT cover the Ender-3 3D printer found in our Sharpsburg location.
You do not have to be a Prototype member to attend this workshop, but it is mainly geared toward training members on the equipment and workflows that are specific to our makerspace.
