Intro to Basic 3D printing.

This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of 3D printers and slicing software, focusing on fundamental concepts and best practices related to Core XY and Core XZ printing technologies. We will primarily explore Creality Print as the main slicing software, with brief discussions on Orca, Bambu Lab's slicer, and Cura.

Overview of Printer Basics:

  • Printer Interface and Operation: Understanding user interface functionality and operational commands.

  • Machine Maintenance: Essential maintenance practices to ensure optimal printer performance.

  • Issue Identification: Techniques for troubleshooting common printing problems.

Overview of Slicing Software Basics:

  • Selecting a Printer: Key considerations when choosing a printer based on project requirements.

  • Wi-Fi Setup: Guidance on establishing a Wi-Fi connection for seamless operation.

  • Basic Slicing Techniques: Step-by-step instructions on slicing models for 3D printing.

  • Saving G-code for Non-Wi-Fi Printers: How to export G-code for printers lacking Wi-Fi capability.

  • File Verification: Methods for assessing the integrity of STL/OBJ files within slicing software.

Utilizing Thingiverse:

  • File Discovery: Strategies for locating applicable files on Thingiverse.

  • Downloading Files: Best practices for downloading 3D models.

  • Loading Files into the Slicer: Instructions for importing downloaded files into slicing software for further processing.

This structured approach aims to equip participants with the foundational knowledge and practical skills necessary for effective 3D printing and slicing.
