Lessons are typically 30 minutes to 1 hour long and are suitable for beginner or intermediate designers and/or 3D-printer users.
Did you recently buy a 3D printer but are unsure how to begin designing printable parts? Do you have access to a 3D printer at school or work, and would like to make the most of it? Would you like to get printed online, but want to ensure that it's suitable for 3D printing before you pay for it? Is your 3D printer second-hand and struggling with bed adhesion or print quality issues? These lessons may be for you!
The following topics and categories are covered, but ultimately, the content of every lesson is shaped by your needs and requirements:
- CAD: beginner and intermediate design of parametric parts using FreeCAD
- CAD: industry-relevant design practices such as margins, filleting, ribbing, inserts, clearances, etc
- CAD: FDM-friendly design practices for support-less printing, fatigue-aware layer orientation, perimeter scaling, etc
- FDM: maintenance of hardware, diagnostics of failed or low-quality prints
- FDM: material selection advice, safety considerations, hotbed/nozzle suitability

As a previous student of Alex's I've learnt a great deal that prepared me for my exams. Especially in science and maths!
Alex is an incredible teacher. He was a huge part of getting me through my undergraduate degree, as well as providing incredible support throughout my PhD. Genuinely one of the most capable and knowledgeable people I know. Can’t recommend and thank him enough!
Alexander had helped me throughout my internship, spending time with me and explaining concepts in a way which I fully understood. His teaching methods are great and allowed me to consider the concept and reach conclusion by myself without be judged and asking questions to cement my knowledge.
Would whole heartily recommend Alex, he has a great knowledge of 3D modelling and CAD software.I met Alex whilst working on X-ray imaging through a placement, and was lucky enough to experience first hand what a great teacher he is. He explained complex technical concepts clearly and patiently, never made me feel bad for asking questions, and was always happy to go through things again from a different angle. He took the time, even outside placement hours, to make sure I understood why things worked, not just how to do them, which made me far more confident working independently. His scientific competency and technical skills are excellent, and he's just as good at passing them on. I'd recommend him to any student, whether a beginner or already experienced.
I highly recommend Alex as a teacher. I met him during an internship and he taught me lots of things even if my english was not perfect. He has a lot of knowledge in various areas and is very passionate about everything he teaches. He is also very patient and explains complex scientific concepts with ease.
I've known Alexander in a professional and teaching environment, and have seen his work firsthand. His lectures are well-prepared, fully structured, and interactive, and his passion for science is super contagious. He has experience in an undergraduate lecture room and in one-to-one lectures, and has incredible patience with the students and a thorough understanding of course content, so much so that he can explain to people of all kinds of backgrounds. His work now also includes outreach, which has impacted positively on his skills for keeping people engaged in a topic while explaining to a broad audience, from toddlers to other scientists.
