About the course

Just bought a 3D printer and no idea where to begin? This is the simple two-hour introduction that takes you from a boxed-up machine to running your own prints with confidence. No experience needed.

You’ll learn how the printer actually works, how to use the slicing software that turns a design into a print, and how to take a model from the internet all the way to a finished object in your hand, hands-on, on our printers at the studio, or on yours at your place.

How the session flows

  1. anatomy Know your printer What the nozzle and heated parts do, how the printer moves, and how it builds an object layer by layer.
  2. software Slicing, made simple How slicing turns a 3D model into instructions the printer follows, and how to drive the slicing software yourself.
  3. hands-on Download, slice, print Find a model online, slice it, and run your first print, making sure it comes out clean from start to finish.
  4. take home The model you printed

You leave with the model you printed, plus the confidence to run your own printer from setup to finished print.

Frequently asked

What is this course useful for?

It's perfect for someone looking into starting 3D printing who's just bought their printer but hasn't started their actual journey yet. This gets you comfortable operating it from day one.

Is this course required to start a 3D printing journey?

No, it's not required, but it speeds up the whole process instead of watching YouTube videos and self-learning. It kickstarts your 3D printing journey with someone who's super experienced in the industry.

Do I need any experience?

None at all. This is built for complete beginners. If you've never run a 3D printer before, you're exactly who it's for.

Can I pay with SkillsFuture credit?

No. This course isn't listed on SkillsFuture, so it can't be paid for with SkillsFuture credit. It's $100 for one person, or $80 each for two or more, before GST, on a date you pick and book online.

How do I book?

Pick a free date and time in the booking calendar on this page, say how many are coming and where, and pay by PayNow or card. It's confirmed straight away, with a calendar invite by email. We need a day's notice.

How many people can join one session?

Up to 20, with one trainer for every 4 people, so everyone has hands on a printer. For more than 20, message us and we'll plan it with you.

Do I need to bring my own laptop?

For sessions at our studio, no. We do recommend bringing it so we can set up the slicing software on your own machine. For off-site sessions at your venue, a laptop is required.

Can the lesson be held at my place instead of your studio?

Yes, on your own Bambu Lab printers bought from us. It's from $300 more: that covers one printer for up to 4 people, and each extra printer we set up for a bigger group is $50 more. Pick 'At your place' when you book, and have the printers unboxed, powered and on Wi-Fi.
