• 3D Viewpoint Shortcuts - cube on the top right; if you are ever lost, hit the home icon.
• Main UI (Axis) - Revolves around central axis
• Main UI (Hand) - Pans camera view in orthogonal directions (left/right/up/down)
• Visual Style - Useful for seeing through complex objects

• Create Sketch (2D drawing in 3D world)
• Specify a Plane (convention is to use the XY plane
• Use the Circle action to draw a 50 mm circle
• You can specify units (cm, in, mm, etc...); default is mm.
• Edit by double-clicking on the dimension.
• Finish Sketch to return to the 3D environment
• Double-click on sketch to return to 2D environment

Naming your sketches is an excellent habit

• Use the Extrude (E) operation
• Drag the arrow handler or use the parameter UI
• Note different types of operation: New Body, Cut, New Component
• Extrude by 60 mm

• Construct a new sketch on the top of the cylinder
• Activate the outer circle geometry from the layers panel
• Create a inner circle geometry
• Extrude inner circle geometry downward -- this will automatically select the "Cut" operation -- seen in red
• Cut 55 mm from the cylinder

• Modify > Fillet
• Select edges
• Specify 1.5 mm radius
• Apply to the bottom edge as well

• Select body > Right-click > Appearance
• Drag and drop a material onto the body
• Switch to Render to view the material rendering under different lights
• Switch back to Sketch to select different appearances

• File > 3D Print
• Select STL, millimeter, uncheck Print to Utility
• Save in your file system

Cura Guide

1. Open Cura. adjust 3D printing parameters to your 3D printer's configuration
2. Drag-and-drop STL file
3. Rotate 3D model to reduce overhangs or need for support structure
4. Use the Slice/Preview options to see the results of your parameters
5. Save the .gcode file to a USB -- Plug the USB into your 3D printer and follow the dialogs to 3D print.
