Design, Print, Repeat 1/2: Personalized Name Tag — 3D Printing for Beginners
Practical introductory 3D printing workshop for complete beginners. In the first workshop, you’ll create a personalized nameplate that will become part of a phone holder in the second workshop. You’ll prepare it for printing and learn basic design principles for 3D printing. The workshop is designed as a two-part series — we recommend attending both sessions.
About This Workshop
From “I’ve never seen a 3D printer” to “my model is ready to print”
This is a practical introductory 3D printing workshop for complete beginners. The goal of day one is simple: everyone creates a personalized piece that will be integrated into the project on the second workshop.
We start with a quick trial example so you can immediately see what the printing process looks like and what to pay attention to. Then everyone designs their personalized name tag, customized to your name and style. This isn’t just an exercise — your name tag will become a functional part of the phone holder you’ll create at the second workshop!
Between workshops, Miloš will print your name tags and prepare the phone stand components, so at the second workshop you can assemble the complete project.
What will you learn on day 1?
- FDM 3D printing basics (short and clear): what the printer does, what filament is, and how an object is created layer by layer.
- Complete process live: model editing → export → slicing → print preparation.
- Design rules for reliable printing: how to create a model that prints quickly and stably (without complicated settings).
- Project: design a personalized name tag that will be part of your phone holder.
Important: This is a two-part workshop. Please register and attend both sessions (January 14th and 15th) to complete the full project and take home your personalized phone holder.
Why Sign Up?
- For beginners: no prior knowledge of CAD or 3D printing required.
- Concrete result: you’ll leave with knowledge and a file ready to print, and pick up the finished object at the next workshop.
- Practical and clear: you’ll see the entire workflow — from idea to 3D print.
How Will Projects Be Printed?
We’ll start printing at the first workshop. If some objects aren’t finished by the end of the session, you’ll pick them up the next day.
To keep things faster and more reliable, we’ll print in one filament color, which we’ll choose by a quick vote at the start.
About the Instructor
The workshop is led by Miloš Rašić, M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. With a focus on robotics and biotech, Miloš bridges the worlds of hardware and software to help participants understand the development process of advanced technological products. Through extensive experience working with industrial drones, robotic systems, and telemedicine, he demonstrates how engineering theory translates into functional innovations and successful startup projects.
