Maker Lab 101: 3D Printing

Come in. Start making. ⚙️✨

Curious about the tools in our Maker Lab but not sure where to begin? This hands-on series is your invitation to jump in, try something new, and build the skills to turn your curiosity into something tangible. Whether you’re here to tinker, design, or just figure out what’s possible, this is where it starts.

This session: 3D Printing 🖨️🐉

See how ideas become real objects—layer by layer. In this beginner-friendly session, you’ll get an inside look at how our Bambu Lab 3D printers work, then try it for yourself by designing a simple model in Tinkercad.

We’ll also explore MakerWorld for ready-to-print ideas and walk through how to submit a project in the Maker Lab, so you know exactly what to expect when you’re ready to print on your own. By the end, you’ll have a design ready to go and the confidence to take your next step.

Psst... You’ll get a USB drive to save your future creations. Plus, one lucky participant will take home a crystal dragon,  brought to life by our 3D printer. 🐉✨

Coming in October: Designing with Canva
