- **Event Description**: 3D Printers- When you leave on the last day of this workshop, you'll take home your own 3D PrinterAbout this EventFab Lab Summer Camp: Build Your Own 3D Printerat Lake Michigan CollegeEver wondered how a 3D printer actually works? In this immersive, hands-on summer camp, you won’t just use a 3D printer—you’ll build one from the ground up and take it home.Each family group begins with a complete 3D printer kit, included with registration. Over the course of two exciting days, you’ll assemble your printer step by step while learning how every component—motors, belts, electronics, hotend, and frame—works together to turn digital designs into real objects. By understanding the “why” behind each part, you’ll gain the confidence to troubleshoot, repair, and upgrade your printer long after the camp ends. Please make sure that one of the member of your group is an adult, and also limited to three members in your group.This workshop runs two days, two hours per day, with guided instruction from Fab Lab staff. By the end of day two, you’ll power up, calibrate, and test your fully functioning 3D printer using the included 1kg roll of PLA filament.But the learning doesn’t stop at hardware. Campers will also be introduced to the digital side of 3D printing, including:Exploring online design libraries like ThingiverseAn overview of 3D modeling tools such as Fusion 360 and SolidWorksUnderstanding how digital models become printable filesNo prior experience with 3D printing or design software is required—just curiosity, patience, and a willingness to learn.This camp is ideal for individuals, siblings, or families who want to build together. Registration is per printer kit, not per person, making it a great collaborative experience.Camp HighlightsBuild and assemble a complete 3D printerLearn how each component functions and connectsCalibrate, test, and print with your own machineTake home your finished 3D printer and filamentGain foundational skills in 3D modeling and printing workflowsDetailsDuration: 2 days (2 hours per day)Minimum age: 12 (at least one participant per group)No prior experience requiredRegistration closes one week before the workshop to allow for material prepLeave with more than just a machine—leave with real technical skills, problem-solving confidence, and the ability to keep creating at home.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/e9debc60-0cf7-11f1-a8a2-8fecd824cacd-rimg-w740-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/ea0e09c0-0cf7-11f1-ab5f-dbf419f4c4a8-rimg-w555-h740-dcbdc1c0-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/ea4a2860-0cf7-11f1-ab5f-dbf419f4c4a8-rimg-w555-h740-dcbfa68e-gmir.jpg
