Meet Your New 3D Printer

This video tutorial introduces students to 3D printing in an engineering class, covering various types of 3D printers available in the lab, such as Creality Ender models, Dremel 3D45, and resin printers. It explains the key components of a 3D printer, including the hot end, extruder, and print bed, and discusses specific features of the Ender 3S1 Pro. The tutorial emphasizes hands-on learning, encouraging students to practice 3D modeling and perform basic maintenance on their assigned printers.
