Learn FDM 3D printing from setup and slicing to designing, troubleshooting, finishing, and advanced printing techniques.
What you’ll learn
⚡ Set up, calibrate, and confidently operate an FDM 3D printer, from loading filament to starting and monitoring your first print.
⚡ Use slicer software to prepare models and optimize quality, strength, supports, speed, temperature, and other key print settings.
⚡ Download, plan, and prepare 3D models, understand basic CAD and licensing, troubleshoot common issues, and learn how to start a 3D printing business.
⚡ Explore advanced 3D printing, including multicolor and multi-toolhead systems, while learning how to maintain, troubleshoot, and upgrade your printer.
⚡ Understand the complete FDM workflow, from choosing a printer and material to designing, slicing, printing, finishing, and maintaining your machine.
Requirements
❗ No prior 3D printing experience is required. A computer is recommended, and an FDM 3D printer with PLA filament is helpful for hands-on practice, but not required.
❗ Don’t have a printer yet? That’s completely fine. This course will also help you understand what to look for when choosing your first 3D printer.
Description
Learn and Build Practical 3D Printing Skills from the Ground Up.
This in-depth 3D printing course is designed to take you from the fundamentals of 3D printing to more advanced techniques, with a strong focus on FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) desktop 3D printers. Whether you’re completely new to 3D printing, planning to buy your first printer, or already have some experience and want to improve your skills, this course will help you understand the complete 3D printing workflow.
You’ll learn how 3D printing works, the different types of 3D printers and materials, how to choose a 3d printer, understand its components, assemble and calibrate it, load filament, and start your first print.
You’ll then learn how slicer software works and how to prepare your models for printing. We’ll cover important settings such as layer height, walls, top and bottom layers, infill, supports, skirt, brim, speed, and temperature, along with practical guidance for improving print quality and strength.
The course also covers finding and downloading 3D models, understanding model licenses, preparing and printing models, troubleshooting common printing problems, and post-processing techniques such as support removal, sanding, smoothing, and painting.
You’ll also get introduced to basic 3D design and CAD principles using tools such as Tinkercad and FreeCAD, including important design considerations for 3D printing such as wall thickness, tolerances, clearances, overhangs, print orientation, and designing for functional parts.
As you progress, we’ll explore printer maintenance, cleaning, upgrades, modifications, multicolor 3d printing systems, multi-toolhead 3d printing technologies, and other developments in modern 3D printing.
The course also provides practical insights into using 3D printing for creative projects, functional products, and business opportunities. I’ve created this course using practical demonstrations, visual explanations, and knowledge gained from more than 7 years of hands-on experience with 3D printing.
By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid understanding of the complete FDM 3D printing workflow and the confidence to choose, set up, operate, troubleshoot, design for, and improve your own 3D printing setup.
