November 8th 2pm - 5pm.
I’m finally going to hold that nice long 3D class I’ve been promising.
I’m going to break this down into 3 segments so that you can attend the area(s) that you want more information on.
2pm-3pm Basic 3D modelling introduction. (1 Hour)
-If you’ve never ever done (or done but not understood) 3d modeling then you want to start here. Its going to go over the very basic stuff but important to understand why programs especially Sketchup and slicer do what they do. This is only for designing 3d models for 3d Printing, It will not include some of the extra stuff that might interest you if you were doing it for rendering on a computer screen (ie games, videos, pictures) but you can build on this to get to the more interesting stuff. I will use Sketchup to show how 3d models work, but I won’t provide any explanation on Sketchup itself till the next hour.
3pm-4pm Sketchup Introduction. (1 Hour)
The basics to getting started with Sketchup and how to use it specifically for modelling for 3d printing.
4pm-5pm Fixing 3D models for printing.
All about fixing 3d Models for printing. Using Sketchup of course. But other programs can be used, I will also show some things about netfabb. A tool for finding problems and making simple fixes,

I at first thinking that I was going to offer the class for free to VHS members then decided to charge a nominal $5. I’m going to use the funds raised to buy VHS some tools I think they need.
