1. Sending Work to the Printer

If you’ve ever finished a beautiful piece of digital work only to hold a dimmer duller less awesome version in your hand after printing this class may be for you! Although printing something can be as easy as hitting “Command + P” on your keyboard the process of printing is very technical highly specialized and varies from print shop to print shop so it makes sense there’d be some confusion! In this class I try to break down the mystery into manageable applicable bits so that you can start sending your work to the printer and loving the results. Here’s what I cover:...

4. 3D printer programming using G-Code

3.9

(193)

Do you own a 3D printer and want to become an expert? Maybe your printer is not working as you expect and need to be able to read the gcode file to check for errors when your slicer program writes the file. To have a true understanding of how 3D printers work you need to understand the language that they use. Slicer programs can make mistakes when outputting the code, but without being able to read G Code file these small issues could takes weeks to resolve. Is it a hardware issue? a model issue? or did the program just miss the code that turns on the heated bed?In this course you will learnReading and writing the G-Code fileThe coordinate system that 3D printers use to produce partsMoving the print nozzle with G0, G1, G2 and G3Absolute v Incremental programmingChanging the printer from metric to imperial All the codes to control your printer, from setting the temperature of the bed to controlling the fans RPMSplitting programs into 2 or more separate files that can be run at different timesJoining programsProblem solvingand much, much more!3D printers use a simplified version of the CNC geometric programming language G-Code. I have been teaching this language in an industrial environment for over 20 years and now you can learn from my experience is this easy to follow course on how your printer reads commands from your slicer STL...

Do you want to learn how to make money with your 3D printer? Then this course is for you! I currently run a successful YouTube channel with thousands of subscribers and have a successful website and Etsy shop where I sell hundreds of dollars a month in 3D files and physical prints. I love 3D printing and sharing what I know through my YouTube channel and in courses like this. That's why I created this course to show 3D-printer enthusiasts like you how you can start earning money through your hobby. In this course, we will cover 7 ways you can use your 3D printer to make money. After covering the basics, I will share details from my own revenue streams and show how much my files cost to commission and print, and how those costs inform the selling price. We will then look at 3 case studies of other successful Makers who are using their 3D printers to earn money, and I will cover details behind how they print and price their products. We will also cover topics such as what the best printer would be for your particular business idea and what costs are involved for the various printers and their consumables. This was a really fun course to create, and I did my best to include a lot of valuable content to help you with your own business idea.

6. Start 3D Printing at Home - Even Without a 3D Printer!

4.6

(75)

If you're interested in 3D printing but haven't even purchased a printer yet, this course is made for you. A few years ago I took the plunge and bought myself a 3D printer. Since then I've been teaching other people about 3D printing at home.  Allen M says: Far more interesting than I would have thought for an introductory course. Just enough to show me that I can achieve what I want, relatively easily. Some things to avoid. A very practical course. Brandon V says: Thank you Jason for sharing with us some of the essentials of 3D printing. I am grateful for your efforts, as well as the additional links to more information. Thank you! In this course I'll teach you what 3D printers are, how they work, tips for purchasing one and how to use it to create amazing 3D prints.  Many people are too scared to purchase their first 3D printer because they don't really know what's involved in buying and running one. I felt like this myself once, so don't worry. I now know exactly what's involve and that's what I'll teach you here. I'll also demonstrate the process of designing a simple chess piece using two free design tools, Tinkercad and OpenSCAD. This will give you a feel for what's involved in inventing and designing your very own products. Even if you don't want to buy your own 3D printer yet, after going though these lectures and examples you'll be able to start designing products immediately. I'll even show you how to outsource your printing to companies who have some of the best 3D printers in the world, so you can become involved in this amazing technology without ever having to purchase a 3D printer. It doesn't cost the earth either! This course consists mainly of videos, slides and on screen demonstrations all created by myself. It should only take you a couple of hours to complete. It'll be a couple of hours very well spent though because afterwards you'll have all the knowledge and confidence to become involved in 3D printing quickly, cheaply and easily. As I've found out myself, 3D printing is interesting and can be great fun too. Designing and selling your products can even be quite profitable. I love it and I'm sure you will too! Thanks for taking an interest and I look forward to you being my student. Jason King...
