Getting 6th graders started on 3D printer?????
June 10, 2012 06:41PM
When my son and his friend and I were at Makers Faire a few weeks ago we talked to some RepRappers who meet every Wed at Techshops around the Bay Area. Now I have 4 - 11 year-olds who want to work on a 3d printer this summer. Can anyone give me specific info about the meetings [hopefully the next one] and which one would be most appropriate for these kids? They have already started their research on-line but I thought they could get a running start listening to your experiences/seeing what you have done.

Any guidance is appreciated!!

Thanks, Lori

Have you found anything? I am new to this but I have built and am operating (er..Modifying) a Prusa right now. I am using Marlin Firmware, Slic3r for slicing , and Repetier-Host for the printer's UI. I have also used Pronterface. I am not saying I am a pro by any stretch of the imagination but I might be able to offer info on what I can.
