Step 3: Take the Lessons

Go through all the basic lessons! Each lesson tells you what to do.

Step 4: Thingiverse!

After you have completed all the lessons go to Thingiverse!

Step 5: Search

Thingiverse has many designs for you to print. Search for something you like! (I chose to look up Kpop)

Step 6: Upload Stl File

My teacher had a folder for when you downloaded the design. When you download the design you should be able to open a folder that comes with it. Open it and find the .stl file. You should open drive, so you can drop the file in the folder.

Now drag the stl file into the folder. Then rename it!
