Why This Bootcamp is Different

This isn't just a class; it's a complete launchpad into the world of 3D printing. We focus on what matters most: practical skills and your long-term success.

• You Keep the Printer: You will unbox, assemble, and learn on a brand new Bambu Lab A1, which is yours to take home. This state-of-the-art machine is known for its incredible speed and user-friendly design, making it the perfect tool for any new maker.

• Personalized Attention: With class sizes strictly limited to 3-4 attendees, you get direct, one-on-one guidance from an expert, ensuring all your questions are answered.

• Benefit-Focused Learning: We skip the fluff and focus on the skills that empower you to print successfully on your own, from finding models to troubleshooting common issues.

Key Skills You'll Master:

• Hardware & Assembly: Confidently assemble and understand the anatomy of your A1.

• Finding & Evaluating Files: Learn where to find millions of free 3D models online (MakerWorld, etc.) and how to spot a good, printable file.

• The Slicer Software: Master the essentials of Bambu Studio to prepare any model for printing. You'll learn to control layer height, infill for strength, and when to use supports for complex shapes.

• Perfecting Your Prints: Understand the secrets to a perfect first layer, including how to use common tools like hairspray for ideal bed adhesion.

• Troubleshooting: Learn to diagnose and fix the most common print failures so you never feel stuck.

• Essential Maintenance: Keep your machine running like new with simple, effective maintenance routines.
