Build and Take Home a 3D Printer Workshop x by The Lankford Group and Aerial Vista Labs Want to learn 3D printing but don’t want to worry about the steep learning curve? 3D printing is perfect for students, hobbyists, inventors and professionals. It is also a great tool for homestead, off-grid and preparedness living. It can be used to make repairs to broken items, make useful storage solutions, tools, irrigation and greenhouse materials, or just about anything you can imagine or need. You can say made at home and less made in China. We are offering a workshop to build, calibrate, and test a printer that you will be able to take home and begin successful prints right away. We teach you to build your own 3D Printer and how to use the software to operate the printer, to design 3D files, and how to turn them into machine code, in a 3 day workshop. In addition, the Instructor printer build will be donated to a local school. So you get to build your own 3D printer, learn how to use it successfully, and get to help inspire the next generation of engineers and inventors.
