PM – Getting Started with 3D Printing – Files, Printing & Printer Care

Want to get the most out of your 3D printer? Whether you're just starting out or looking to improve your setup, this practical workshop is for you!

We’ll guide you through the complete process—from preparing and slicing 3D files to setting up prints on your machine, plus how to care for and maintain your printer for long-term use. This session is particularly helpful for Ender-style printers, but open to all brands.

🔍 Is My 3D Printer Suitable for This Workshop?

This session is best suited for small, desktop-sized Ender-style 3D printers—commonly used by hobbyists and home users. If you're unsure, check if your printer is on this list or similar in style.

Compatible examples include:

• Creality Ender 3 / Pro / V2 / V3 / Ender 5

• Creality CR-10 Mini / CR-10S / CR-10 V3

• Voxelab Aquila models

• Anycubic Kobra Go / Neo

• Sovol SV01 / SV06

• Artillery Genius / Sidewinder X1

• BIQU B1 / BX

• FLSUN i3-style printers (not Delta models)

If your printer has a heated bed, a moving Y-axis bed, and accepts sliced files via microSD or SD card—it likely qualifies as Ender-style.

Bring your questions! We'll finish with a helpful Q&A session to troubleshoot problems and support your specific needs.

🖨️ Bringing your own 3D printer (in-person)? Please let us know before the day so we have a powered spot for you.

🛑 Large printers or industrial-style units are not permitted due to space and power limits.

Still unsure? Contact us before the event and we’ll be happy to help!

💻 Please bring your own laptop, plus an SD card and reader compatible with your printer. A limited number of laptops are available—let us know at checkout if needed.
