3D Printing Basics For Repair Projects
6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
🇺🇸 · NYC Resistor
RSVP https://www.eventbrite.com/e/for-repair-3d-printing-basics-tickets-1989101964521
Learn the fundamentals of 3D printing with repair in mind, including how to find, modify, and prepare 3D models for printing.This class is the first in a series focused on learning the foundational skills necessary to use digital fabrication tools available at NYC Resistor for repair projects. It builds on the basic approaches that are shared at Resistor’s Repair Café, held on the first Saturday of each month, and is meant for anyone who is eager to develop more specialized repair techniques.
This class introduces the fundamentals of 3D printing with a focus on repairing and extending the life of everyday objects. Students gain experience setting up and operating a 3D printer, working with common materials, and troubleshooting basic printing issues. They also learn how to find, modify, and prepare 3D models for printing.
Bring your laptop to set up the required software and begin hands-on practice.
In future classes in the series, students will also learn how to use digital fabrication tools such as laser cutters and CNC routers for repair projects, helping extend product lifespans and reduce waste. Through hands-on practice with all these tools, students will learn an array of ways to measure, model, and produce parts for real-world repairs, including creating replacements for broken or missing components and designing simple tools such as jigs and fixtures.

# Analog Electronics for Guitar Pedals
## Session 3: Wiring everything in an enclosure
The goal of this session is to wire up a circuit to jacks and foot switch and put it all into a permanent enclosure. We will talk about true bypass wiring, what it it and how to apply it to circuits you have built.
We'll cover:
* **Wiring the Foot Switch** — learn about true bypass wiring
* **Add an LED indicator** — add an LED that indicates when the effect is engaged
* **Wire the input and output jacks** — how to connect the input and output jacks
* **Put it all in a an Enclosure** — box it up for use
No prior electronics experience required. Bring your curiosity. The goal of this session will be take the circuits previously built as prototypes and wire them in a permanent enclosure.
