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
