Learning how to 3D print - We'll do this together for today's lesson

1. Create or download your design
2. Review your design 
1. size
2. overhang
3. workplane adhesion (will you need support)
4. export your design as a .stl file to a slicer program.  We'll use AstroPrint - make an account.  Create an account with your Google student info.
5. import your design into your slicer program
6. verify your printer, print settings, print material, and the amount of material needed to print your project.
7. download your design to an sd card or connect your printer to the printer.
8. print your project.  Keep an eye on your project

Checking & printing your design

In your project reflection, estimate the cost of your print using these variables:

PLA material cost - $.03 per gram

Electricity Cost/minute - about $.01 per hour

Labor costs - $50 per hour

Get on to your Digital Portfolio
