A lot of ppl has been asking me to host 3d printing so this is it!

This isn’t your typical instruction-manual lecture. This is a workshop dedicated entirely to how to do 3D printing in the coolest, most creative way possible.

We will spend a hard 5 minutes on the absolute basics to get everyone up to speed, and then—we’re going full-on mad scientist. 🤯

Things I've been experimenting with my 3d printer --

  • 🏺 Vase Mode Masterclass: How to pull off stunning, artistic vessels using a single continuous line.

  • 🤖 AI-Driven 3D: How I use AI to turn a flat 2D image into a fully realized 3D model.

  • 💎 The PETG Illusion: Tips and tricks to print with near-glass transparency.

  • ♾️ Continuous Shapes: The secret to printing interlocking and endless geometry.

  • ⚡ Glitch Art & Cool Finishes: How to lean into aesthetic errors and custom surface textures.

  • 👕 Printing on Fabric: Breaking the boundaries of plastic by printing directly onto textiles.

  • 🐘 Going XL: Overcoming the build plate limits to construct massive, oversized objects.

  • 🛰️ Smart Hardware: How to seamlessly embed and hide functioning NFC chips inside your prints.

etc.. will have time for Q&A

Tools in my workflow in case you're interested

  • Bambu lab

  • Figma for 2d image processing

  • Gemini and Chatgpt for generating 2d images

  • Meshy to turn 2d into 3d

  • Blender(sometimes!)

I'll bring all the objects to classroom so you got to touch all of them!

P.S. this workshop will mainly focus on FDM 3d printers, it will not include resin printer and I don't recommend newbies start with resin printer since it might be dangerous if you don't do the ventilation right
