This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
Technology is here to stay and will forever change our life. Manufacturing and DIY at home with the aid of technology is a reality TODAY. Even 9 year old kids have been using 3D Printers to make robots, sculptures, and beyond.
Do not fear, zero computer science and 3D background required.
You will earn the 3D Printing badge (in dev) after acquiring the basic skills necessary to create a 3D model and get it printed and become reality. With the help of an online browser based 3D modeling tool, we will be able to create 3D jewels and sculpture in no time.
Learn the skills before it become mandatory. Be a stealth ninja ahead of the chase.
Happy 3D Printing!
Be sure to share what you have created and what you have discovered! My favorite on Tinkercad? Technical architect Pekka's many creations and quests.
At the end of the course you earn the super awesome 3D Printing badge that is in development. The draft is available in task 2. Working on getting the badge to P2PU.
To complete this task you need to submit your thoughts on:
1. What have you learnt from the challenge, anything surprising?
2. Give 1-2 feedback on how we can improve
3. What would you like to learn next about 3D printing?
Congrats, you are now a Ninja *intern*. Oops there is more to learn :-) but you can create already!
I have allready answered some of my peers questions. I have specially enjoyed using tinkercard. easy and straightforward tool. will have to wait a while before I manage to buy my own 3D printer but don't discard the idea!
I enjoyed learning about resolution on printers. I also found out more info while searching on the rise of smaller printers for school or home.
Perhaps a challenge on building something specific would enhance the course.
I think I'm going to look more into professional level software for my students. I would like to learn about SolidWorks, as I have seen some great curriculum created for it.
1. I have learned how to use tinkercad and manipulate 3D objects into another new shape. I also discovered there are many people trying these technologies out and producing beautiful and functional objects.
2. For task 8 a subscription is needed for tinkercad and I couldn't do this task.
I think the work at your own pace with clearly defined tasks makes this course great for anyone interested in design, technology and 3D printing.
3. I'd like to learn what I equipment I need to set one up at school.
Tinkercad is a very easy to learn and draw method
and very interesting i enjoyed it alot
1. Thinkercad. It´s more interesting that I think at first.
2. Two ideas to improve
1- An introduction to OpenSCAD, is a very interesting software and the only limit is imagination.
2- An explanation about project RepRap.
3. Next I´m planning learn Blender to level up my designs.
