In this two-day class over five hours, students will be introduced to resin 3D printers, known for producing fine detail and smooth surfaces. We will cover machine setup, files and slicing, the print process, post-print cleaning and curing, and painting. Everyone will get to print, paint, and take home a unique piece of their choosing. Nobody is required to do miniatures; you can make a tiny frog if it brings you joy. This will be a hands-on class, and students will participate in all steps of the process. No technical background is required.
