Join the Tinkd Makerspace team to learn how to 3D print! Choose from a range of mushroom bookmarks and be guided through the printing process.

Starting with a quick tour of Tinkd, showing off some of the epic tech they have available for use, including: 3D printers, vinyl cutters, heat presses, sewing machines, laser cutter and more!

Next, pick from the provided mushroom bookmark files, then learn how to load the file into Prusa Slicer and how to prepare it for printing. Once you are ready, you will choose a filament (plastic) colour and load it, and your file, into the 3D printer and start printing. Once finished, you will have a super cool mushroom bookmark to take home that you printed!

  •  A range of mushroom bookmark files to choose from
  •  Expert guidance on how to use Prusa Slicer and 3D printers
