3D Printer Orientation Part 2 (In-Person)

3D Printer Orientation Part 2 (In-Person) is a free library workshop in Durham that teaches participants how to operate the library's 3D printing equipment and bring their digital designs to life. This session focuses on the actual fabrication process, showing you how to send files to the printer and select the right settings. To attend, you must register in advance and complete both parts of the orientation series. The class takes place in the computer lab at the Main Library on Roxboro Street, where laptops are provided for all attendees. While the class is open to various ages, children under 13 must have a parent or guardian present to set up the required printing account. Free parking is available in the library's attached deck. This weekday evening class is a smart pick for parents of tech-minded middle schoolers and teens who want to learn a practical, modern skill. It gives your child the credentials they need to use the library's maker technology for future school projects or creative hobbies.
