Course Description

Hello and thank you for checking out my tutorial on 3D Printing and using Tinkercad!

My name is Michael Andrew and I have been a 3D printer for over 8 years and love it! I currently own a Prusa i3 mk3s and Makerbot Replictator 2x, and use them regularly, about 4-5 times a week. I print in all kinds of materials, but usually PLA, ABS, and PETG.

As an instructor, I have also taught many of my friends, clients, and relatives as well as their children how to use a 3D printer to create their own designs.

I can promise, once you learn the basics, it will change how you think in the best of ways! I am amazed at how natural and creative children are especially. I use my 3D printer to make money, and have paid for my printers many times over. I even have a utility patent for one of my 3D printed inventions and it all started with just being a little curious to start.

Because this is my first course on 3D Printing, I would love to hear your feedback about what I can do to improve the course and make it easier to understand. Are you ready to get started?

Welcome to the whole new world of 3D printing and design with Tinkercad!

Best wishes

Michael Andrew

PS- Thank you again

Perfect as a first knowing things about 3d printing world

By Austin K. Litman on 7/5/2021

Good match. Like the background information. Would have rated it a five except I am forced to watch it over again to get credit. These 1st few video's were offered as samples so I've already seen them.

By A. Lynch on 4/12/2021

A good overall course to 3D printing. My feedback is mostly for additions to the course, or suggestions for a second course. However, the “nuts and bolts” and “light switch” section were a bit hard to follow. I would have liked to see a handout/PDF about all of the different filaments for reference, more on sending out prints (e.g., Shapeways), and the licensing options for Tinkercad. I would also be interested in second course that was more focused on actual prints and adjusting settings to get desired outcome, or how correct common printing errors.

Solid information, So far so good!

Using this course, I was able to take what I learned to create some things to use with quadhands holders, that would allow me to use it as an art tool for posting flowers for botanical drawing.

Good information that gets you up to speed fast.
