About this Event

Instructors - Kevin Naber

Kevin has 6 years experience in 3d printing and is a lifelong tinkerer. He delights in using art and technology for functional uses and personal expression. Detail and strength are properties of 3d printing which he enjoys finding the best balance and sharing the knowledge gained from such experiences.


Class Description

The world of 3d printing is expanding with increasing access to multiple color and tool changing printers yet many hobbyists and makers still use a select few settings available to them- whether you have access to a basic printer or a new Bambu this is a great way to learn how to unlock little used settings available to you. This is a deep dive into 3d printing, from basic printer maintenance to slicer settings to multicolor and multiple material printing. The majority of this class will be in a classroom setting with the Prusa and Bambu slicer softwares and examples of slicer setting results. Learn how different settings affect the properties and appearance of a part. This class will also cover how to use the AMS on Bambu printers including the paint function inside the Bambu Studio.


Material Fee

The materials fee for this class is $15. This is separate from the ticket price and is to reimburse the instructor for any tools or materials used in this class. This will be paid once, directly to the instructor at the start of the first class meeting. This instructor accepts payments through Cash or Venmo.


Class Goals
  • Learn how to make the most from your printer and make basic maintenance
  • Learn how to clean and unclog a nozzle, clear a jammed extruder, when to use each infill style, how walls and infill effect strength, and how to set up multiple color or material prints.
