3. Watch the tutorial videos below for the machine(s) you would like to learn first​​

4. Find/ Design- If 3D printing, decide on a couple small items you would like to print. We will review the items you are interested in when you arrive and see what will work best for our printers and timeslot on thingiverse.com. Consider learning how to design your own items or modify a thingiverse design on tinkercad.com. If using the laser engraver and vinyl cutter, consider the design of what you would like to make. 

5. Attend Classes-

   1.   Come with safety in mind. Tie back long hair, avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry, wear closed toed shoes, no food or drink in the Lab, and use common sense. 

   2. During your 1-hour class, we will teach you to safely operate the machines. The more classes you take, the more you will learn.

6. Certify- As you progress, we hope to be able to "certify" you. If  certified on a machine, you will be able to sign up for Independent time. While still supervised during this time, you will be granted a wider range of accessible time to use the Fab Lab.
