3D Printing Dremel & Bambu

3D Printing: Where to Start? 

1 - Create a Tinkercad account (if you are 13 or younger, you need to ask your parents for permission!) 

2 - Join the Design District Tinkercad Classroom  (the code is FW4GCYI13AT4 if the link isn't working, please provide Ms. Polowin or Ms. Morgan your Nickname in order to get added to the class).

3 - Think about what you would like to design. All personal projects cost $2 to print. A 3D print for the school or a classroom project will be covered by the DD Club. When you get stuck or are unsure of a particular design component, talk to a peer or look for solution with online resources. 

4 - The dimensions of your Design are important - please look at the machine you are going to use and plan accordingly

• Cubicon Style is 150mm x 150 mm x 150mm

• Dremel is  254mm x 154mm x 170mm

• Bambu Lab is 177mm x 177mm x 177mm

• THE SNAPGRID IS 1.0 BUT THE SQUARES YOU SEE REPRESENT 1 CM. IF YOU ZOOM IN YOU WILL SEE SMALLER SQUARES THAT REPRESENT THE 1.MM

• Double check the size of your project by pressing the R KEY an L shaped ruler should pop up. You can now click your project and the measurements should pop up in millimeters. 

5 - When you have created your design, make sure you save it with your name, date and homeroom (for example: MsFPSAOct9EMF8Z)

6 - When you have finished and saved your design, export it as an .stl file (remember you need to change the random title you have been assigned in Tinkercad to you name, the date and your homeroom!)

7 - Complete THIS FORM to send your file to one of the Design District teachers
