==Glance==
*'''WHEN''' 20th of April. Sketchup and Design Tutorial: 12PM, Printing Tutorial 2PM
*'''DURATION''' Sketchup and Design: 2 hours, Printing 2 hours. You can come to both or either for as long as you like
*'''LOCATION''' [[Getting there|sudo room]]
*'''PRICE''' $0
*'''NUTSHELL''' First a no-experience-necessary Sketchup class. Then an explanation and tutorial on how to use the 3D printer itself.
*'''INSTRUCTOR''' Max Klein aka [http://notconfusing.com notconfusing]

==Plan==
[[File:3DSketchupClass.jpg|500px]]
*Understand the workflow (Idea>Design>STL>Slice>Print).
*'''IDEA''' a miniature plate for canapes and appetizers that is ring and allows you to hold a drink in the same hand.
*'''DESIGN''' we'll make a 3d digital representation in sketchup
*'''STL''' gloss over this detail and leave it for another class
*'''SLICE''' gloss over this detail and leave it for another class
*'''PRINT''' marvel, and take home.
* ''Start a facebook group or mail list?''

==Learn==
On the right you'll see some examples of what I've 3D printed at sudo room, having learned all my skills at sudo room, from sudoers.
===Sketchup and Design===
*Introductions
**Level of 3d modelling experience (none required)
*3D Printing Theory
*Sketchup (many options, but this is easiest, not necessarily most powerful or precise)
**Navigation
***Zoom/Orbit/Pan
***Set views
**Basic Shapes
***Rectangle/Line/Circle/Polygon
***Precise measurements
**Shape Manipulation
***Push/pull
***Move vertice/edge
***Rotate
***Scale (
***Scale -1 Trick
***Offset
**Advanced Shapes
***Group
***Follow me
***Outershell
**Misc
***Tape/Erase
**Ready? Let's Make something. Learner's requests?
**Exporting

===Printing===
*Introductions
**Level of 3d modelling experience (none required), but you need a .stl file ready. (We make them in the earlier design portion of the class)
*Slic3r slicing software (in a minor way)
**Sometimes can need NetFabb fixing
*Repetier Host Printer Software (in a minor way)
*How to manually adjust the 3d printer in times of crisis.

==Bring==
*Come with a laptop with '''[http://www.sketchup.com/ sketchup] installed'''. There's a free version for Windows and Mac. If you don't have this installed, you cannot begin immediately.
*'''Bring a 3-button scroll mouse'''. Sketchup is much easier with a mouse, and all but impossible to learn with the track pad. '''Essential''', a mouse that has a clickable scroll-wheel.
*Bring '''your own .stl''' to print, if you are coming just for the second half.

==Requests==
Write specific skills or questions that you'd like to have attention in the class.
* write here

* Creative Arduino casings
* [[User:Rabbitface|Rabbit]] wants to know how to best adjust slicing & printing settings
* [[User:Romyilano|Romyilano]] would like to exploring & modifying Art Institute of Chicago 3D printed objects - http://www.thingiverse.com/ArtInstituteChicago/collections/museum-love-in-3d/page:1
* [[User:Romyilano|Romyilano]] would like to explore painting 3D printed objects - what is the best kind of paint to use? http://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/18xsqw/painting_3d_printed_objects/
* [[User:Romyilano|Romyilano]] would like to invite cartoon artists from the San Francisco Cartoonist Conspiracy & see how we can do a "comic book jam" with drawings that works effectively with budding 3D printing artists--imagine having a cartoon and comic book artist help you make some cool doll!
