Build a 3D Printer School Holiday Workshop - Townsville

Spend the day getting hands-on with one of the most exciting technologies shaping our future.

In this practical, full-day holiday workshop, you’ll build your own Bambu Lab A1 Mini 3D printer, learn how to use and care for it, and take it home ready to create.

From assembling your printer and setting up multicolour printing, to slicing files and completing your first successful prints, you’ll leave with more than just a machine—you’ll gain real-world skills, confidence, and creative momentum.

This isn’t just a fun holiday project. It’s a launchpad for future-ready thinking, used across industries like aerospace, health, manufacturing, robotics, education, product design, and gaming.

Whether you’re into design, cosplay, STEM, miniatures, or just tinkering, this workshop gives you the tools—and the tech—to bring your ideas to life.

What you will do:

• build your own Bambu Lab A1 Mini 3D printer
• learn how to use, maintain, and troubleshoot it
• create your first multicolour prints using slicing software
• take your printer home—ready to keep building
• explore real-world uses of 3D printing in tech and design.
