    • Consumables (clay, glaze, firing)
    • Check-In and Check-Out Procedures 
    • Reserving Tools
    • Classes vs. Sign-Offs (the free sign-offs allow you to bypass our mandatory 101 classes through a verbal and physical demonstration of skill)

    Resin 3D Printing

    Curious about high-detail 3D printing? Want to print miniatures, detailed models, jewelry prototypes, or parts with smooth finishes? This is a great place to explore resin printing.

    In this hands-on session, we’ll walk through the complete resin workflow using our Anycubic Photon M5S Pro printers. You’ll learn printer setup, file preparation, washing and curing, and safe cleanup practices so you feel confident working with resin.

    If you’ve used filament printers before, the process will feel familiar, just a bit messier.

    Resin printing can have a noticeable smell, and we provide the necessary PPE, including gloves and masks.

    You do not need to complete the Beginner or Intermediate filament classes before attending. If you’re all new to 3D printing, we recommend starting with our 3D Printing Lab Orientation and Beginner Class to learn filament printing on the Prusa i3 MK3S printers. The Intermediate class unlocks access to the Bambu X1C (with AMS) and P1S printers.

    If resin printing is what excites you most, feel free to jump right in and register.

    By the end of the session, you’ll be checked off to use the Anycubic Photon M5S Pro independently.

    We also offer 3D scanner training for the Creality Raptor Pro upon request.

    If the class is full, reach out and we’ll try to schedule a 1:1 session depending on availability.

    You do not need to review the Bambu Handy app.

    No computer or smartphone to take the course? Just email 3D@tcmaker.org and we will make it work.

    In this hands-on session, we’ll explore the Bambu X1C (with AMS) and P1S printers together. We’ll go over the hardware, walk through Bambu Studio workflows, talk through real-world troubleshooting, and experiment with multi-color printing using AMS.

    For TCM Members:
    This training will also set up each member with their own accounts to get access to the printers and show them how to use the farming software.

    By the end, you’ll be officially checked off and ready to use the Bambu printers on your own.

    New to 3D printing? Start with our 3D Printing Lab Orientation and Beginner Class to unlock the Prusa i3 MK3S+ printers.

    Interested in high-detail prints like miniatures or resin models? We also run a monthly Resin class for the Anycubic Photon M5S Pro. 3D scanner training for the Creality Raptor Pro is available upon request.

    If the class is full, reach out, and we’ll try to schedule a 1:1 session depending on availability.

    Got any questions or need assistance? Email us at 3D@tcmaker.org and we’re happy to help.

    We can’t wait to see what you create. Happy printing!

    NOTE: *This class is required for ceramics studio members who do not pass or do not attempt the hand-building sign-off. Members must either pass the hand-building sign off or take the 101 course to hand-build in our studio. Thank you!*


    Questions or trouble signing up for this class? Email ceramics@tcmaker.org.


    Through the 6-week hand-building ceramics class (101 series), students will learn the fundamentals of working with clay including knowledge and understanding of pinch, slab, coil techniques, and surface decoration. Students will also understand clay properties, how to prevent cracked work, and the proper techniques to glaze application for firing. 


    The skills acquired in this course will serve as the hand-building foundation on which you may take more advanced classes and/or learn in open studio time. 

    Come ready to get messy. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty; don't worry about clay on your clothes - it washes right off! Most importantly, come ready to have fun!
