Introduction to 3D with TinkerCAD (bookmark project)
How to prepare your 3D print for the Design District 3D "Style" printers
- If you are designing your 3D prints at home, follow these steps and email the 3D .hvs file to Ms. Morgan at eleri.morgan@ocdsb.ca
Where to begin:
- Download an .stl file
- Open Launchpad3D.ca
- Go to “Devices” & select “Style”
- Delete the cube on the screen & start with a blank screen
- Add file - do you need to adjust size? Add rafts (does it need something to build upon)? Add supports (does your project have items that aren’t supported from the ground up?)
- Select “Print”
- Select “Download file” (it needs to be an .hvs file)
- Save file on the SD card (special USB)
- Place SD card in right side of 3D printer
- Select file on the 3D printer display
- Press “OK”
