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.

   - 3D Printing Theory
   - Sketchup
      - Navigation
      - Basic Shapes
      - Shape Manipulation
      - Advanced Shapes
         - Exporting
       - Slic3r slicing software (in a minor way)
   - 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 sketchup <http://www.sketchup.com/> installed.
   There’s a free version for Windows and Mac. If you don’t have this
   installed, you cannot begin immediately.
   - Bring a mouse. Sketchup is much easier with a mouse, and all but
   impossible to learn with the track pad. Essential.

Attend Kind people RSVP on the
wiki<http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Just_enought_Sketch-up_to_pretend_you_can_3d_model#Attend>,
but all those who show up will be welcomed.
