Inside this course, students will learn specific modeling techniques that are great for 3D printing using boolean operations. You'll gain a real understanding of how to keep scale consistent during the entire process from concept to hitting start on a 3d printer. We'll also touch on using calipers to make practical 3d printed items without having to leave Blender 3D.
Students will have a little 3D model chess piece and a working knowledge of how to create blender models and turn them into something that can be 3D printed.
Anyone interested in 3D printing
Rudimentary knowledge of Blender (Beginning Blender 1 & 2 cover this)
What you should bring
Please bring a working laptop with a working copy of blender on it. If you've taken the Beginning Blender course your computer should have blender on it already. If your computer can read sd cards that's a plus but is not required; I will be providing an sd reader temporarily for the course. Recommended: calipers, digital or dial are fine for this course we'll be staying away from vernier calipers
