3D printing Workshop winter 2022

For the last 4 years Build Camp has struggled to find a suitable way to continue offering useful educational opportunities, plus Covid has been unkind to us like everyone else. But we have finally found a great way to offer classes again! We have teamed up with Epic Mobile Repair to offer evening classes coving all things 3D printing. 

Epic 3D Printing

A 3D printing workshop for beginners. Come learn how to get the most out of your 3D printer. Classes are taught in 3 separate sessions. Choose whichever class you need or choose all classes for a well rounded knowledge base. All Courses will be videoed and participants will be given access after class completion. For ages 12+.

$30 per class Or Save $15 and take all three for just $75

Printing Basics 101

Covering getting started, mechanics, basics, and troubleshooting. Big helps for those assembling a printer kit or those who plan to build or modify a printer. This class will help you learn the basics: What is a stepper Motor and driver? How do printers work? How does an Arduino control a printer? Do I have to write my own firmware? How can I find help when things go wrong? 

We will teach the basics about building a 3D printer. You will learn how they work, learn the lingo, learn how to adjust and solve problems.

We will save some time at the end of class to give specific help to those who bring their own printer for help.

 

Printing Software 102

Covering printing methods, skills, and software. You got your printer up and running, Now What? How do I get my prints to work? How do I solve the issues with my prints? How do I solve this non-manifold problem? 

In this class you will learn how to find useful and intriguing models on the internet, learn how to make a lithophane, learn what file types you need and what software programs to use. 

Learn how to find a model, slice a model, best print settings, what software to use, how to import files, repair broken files, troubleshoot print issues.

 

3D modeling 103

3D model your own ideas. But I want to design my own stuff! How do I create a part that fits my unique needs? I want to design a new product. How do I get started? Is there any software that isn’t crazy expensive?

Learn how to design your own model. What software to use. How to get started. The first basic tools to design your own parts and models. Some tips on modifying existing models.

You will be amazed what kids can do! We will be building cool projects which will teach skills, techniques, abilities, boost confidence and give your child an experience he or she will never forget. We will complete real projects with real results. All projects are intended to inspire and motivate kids and families to do fun projects at home.

All are invited to participate from ages 12 and up.
Here is a look at last year's event.

Talented parents are invited to come and help out. What a great way to spend quality time with your children!

Build Camp is meant to expose youth to many aspects of building and creating. As such it is a creative environment in which youth are exposed to tools, methods, processes, and project-based learning. Projects for 2019 include a power hammer for blacksmithing, a battery-powered electric model train that's big enough to ride on, a dune buggy, Tesla Coil, a High temperature oven and more!
Due to the creative nature of build camp we may or may not complete any or all of the intended project but we are committed to make sure that each child has an equal opportunity to participate, learn and grow.

Ages 12 and up are invited. Parents are encouraged (but not required) to attend. Build Camp starts at 10:00 AM on each day and ends at about 5:00 PM. Participants should eat breakfast before arriving.

Build Camp 3D Printing for Adults is coming to a neighborhood near you.
 

Build Camp is an amazing opportunity for youth to learn new skills, gain confidence, and thrive in a world where only talent is rewarded. Now we are adding an opportunity for adults  to lget in on the action. 

We decided to open these classes for local communities throughout the intermountain west. We will bring the class to your local communities with sufficient local support. Please send an email if you would like to organize and host an event near you. We prefer to hold classes in community centers, library meeting rooms, churches, or even homes. (Low or no cost venues)

Event organizers are rewarded with a free printer once they enroll sufficient participants to cover certain hard costs and minimum class attendance. Become an event host here. 

Upcoming classes:

Please note that classes must reach minimum attendance and fees must be paid a minimum of 3 weeks in advance. Fees will be refunded if class is canceled. Dates may change to better accommodate attendants.

January 21, 28 American Fork, Utah. Min. Attendance: 7

Signup deadline January 3rd. 2017.

March 10,11 Burley Idaho. min attendance: 9
Signup deadline February 17, 2017

Get your own 3D Printer.

Learn how to use it.

Learn to build cool things.

Gain valuable experience for your resume.

You will have expert instruction to put the printer together from a box of parts. That means you will gain a fundamental understanding of how it works, and how to make it better if you ever choose to do so.

Your build day is the day listed on the event. We will run from 8:30 AM to about 4:00 PM. any construction that doesn't get completed on this day should be finished at home before the next meet up. (Some local events are held on Saturdays a week apart, other events are crammed into 2 consecutive days due to travel considerations.)

With your printer 100% assembled you are ready for a crash course in 3D printing software. configure your printer and get all your questions answered, and develop your skills.

You will also be instructed on how to install software on your computer, set up the printer, use the software to prepare a model for printing, and finally print out a plastic part suitable for building hobby parts, machines, and artistic sculpture.

You will need to bring your own computer. We prefer Windows or Linux. But the software we recommend also works on Mac.

The course will run over 2 days. Please help us spread the word and share this event on your media of choice.

For just $499 ($299 for the printer, $200 tuition) you will take home your own hand built 3D printer. that is a savings of over $325 compared to similar courses like this one: here. Add additional family members for just $99 each.

Participants should come prepared with a 6" calipers such as this caliper or this one at Harbor Freight  which often goes on sale for about $10. watch the ads for coupons.
