Hosted by Santiago Del Solar at Akatos, 7:00 PM, with plenty of camaraderie.This Monday: He’ll teach you everything you need to get started with 3D printing, from using a 3D printer and the software to finding quality 3D files online.

He’ll walk you through his personal workflow (refined over 8 years) and a few practical tricks he’s picked up along the way.
