Introduction to 3D Printing: Personalised Keyring

As 3D printing takes a long time, your print will need to be collected at a later point. We will contact you to let you know that your print is ready for collection, or we are able to send the print to any Gateshead Council Library for collection.  

In this workshop you will design a 3D personalised keyring using the programme TinkerCAD and learn how to prepare the file in Prusa Slicer ready for 3D printing.

This workshop will also cover health and safety, terms & conditions of using the equipment and cover the induction necessary to become a MakerPlace member. If you would like to become a member you will need to bring ID to join the library to this workshop. Once you have completed this workshop you will be eligible to make bookings to use the 3D printer through Gateshead Libraries Eventbrite page under 'MakerPlace Members Equipment Booking'.
