Overview

The objective of this experiment is to introduce you to 3D printing, by having you print some simple parts that will be used in later experiments. This introductory experiment should help you build your confidence for printing more complex parts. This experiment is described for a specific printer, but could be used with other printers with a few modifications.

Click on the Handout PDF link in the right sidebar to download the Experiment Handout. It describes all of the steps you will need to perform to complete the experiment. The 3-D Printer Files link provides files you can use to print the parts needed for the experiment.

What You Will Learn

After successful completion of this experiment, you will be familiar with the basic operation of the 3D printer.

Prerequisites

This is an introductory experiment, and so it does not require that you have run any of the other experiments.
