3D Printing Beginner Class 101

In this 3D Printing Beginner Class, we will cover everything that a beginner will need to know to lay down a solid foundation to excel at 3D printing right away! You will learn the basics of the printer itself (we will focus on Bambu Labs), understand the softwares available and many of the details of each, and how to print amazing prints! Again, I want to focus that we will focus on Bambu Labs but any 3D printing person can take the class and learn a great deal. A summary of the topics to be covered is below, and we will deep dive into each.
