Do you wish you could create more useful things with your printer?

Wouldn't it be incredible to print your own designs that function as they should, look amazing AND just work correctly?

THEN KEEP READING...

Because what follows could be a pivotal moment with what’s possible for you with 3D printing.

Imagine What You Could Accomplish If You Could Easily Design Anything To 3D Print?

The possibilities are endless and unique to you, but here are some examples...

CREATE

You can make things to improve yours, or other’s lives - to save time or money.

Fix broken things, like the washer door, or your wife’s favourite shoes, or just a specific jig for your hobbies.

INSPIRING NEW GENERATIONS

You could inspire the kids with epic toys from their own drawings.

Catapult their interest into this rapidly growing, world-changing technology.

WINNING CLIENTS

Imagine winning over a new client at work with a specific solution to their problem.

COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS

Perhaps you’d like to contribute to the communities you’re passionate about helping - be it gaming, gardening or life aids for the elderly, for example.

IMPRESSING BOSSES

How about impressing your boss (or potential employer) with something that saves the company time or money, leading to better job solidarity or even a pay rise.

MAKE MONEY

Create something useful that others might want to buy from you, allowing you to make an extra income stream (we have clients doing this already making significant incomes selling their 3D prints).

It's never a bad time to make a positive change.

There’s no doubt that mastering the skills to design anything you want, well, can certainly affect other people and open a lot of doors.

At the very least, others will start to “get” the immense benefits of 3D printing seeing what you can produce.

THE PROBLEM...

Sure there’s places you can learn to design models online - some of them good, some of them for free.

But designing specifically for 3D printing is a whole different ball game, there are things you should and shouldn’t do.

Things you can and can not do, and learning these through trial and error, waiting to print each version every time only to find out that it’s still not quite right, or that it failed again…

That just sounds exhausting.

Example of a design that would not be very 3D printable (for FDM machines)

You only have to look above or head to one of the multitudes of 3D model download sites, to learn just how unprintable most models are. Heck, even a huge proportion of the stuff on Thingiverse is a host of printing problems waiting to happen.

That’s because, quite frankly…

Designing For 3D Printing Is Very Different To Regular Design

Let us show you how...

“Learning to 3D print without mastering how to design your own stuff, is like learning to fix a car, but you never learn to drive - so you lose 95% of its intended functionality.”

If you’re here because you want to take the breaks off your 3D printing; to open up a world of possibilities to create, repair, captivate and impress yourself and others around you with what’s possible with your 3D printer - then this course is exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Join a guild of 3D printer-ers who are getting the most from their 3D printers.

The 4 Beliefs About 3D Printing Design Keeping You Stuck:

(and how to resolve them and move forward right now)

Belief #1

I don't have what it takes...

When you look at truly incredible 3D print designs, some with amazing functionality, or something beautiful and intricate - you might wonder what planet these designers hail from.

Truth is, these epic designers are just like you and me. Jason’s passion centers around designing his own RC models that are very well respected in the RC community, from scratch.

But he didn’t start out this way, he learnt painstakingly over years, designing hundreds of models and going that trial and error route. Not only that, he’s taught these processes to countless others, proving that anyone can learn to design models in Fusion 360.

If you’re interested in 3D printing, you already think a certain way. You have a passion for turning things that are digital into the physical world - if you can imagine it, you can design it.
Belief #2

I can do it on my own...

Sure, you can. But it would take near-as forever. You’ll have to slog through Youtube and blogs to find that 95% of the stuff doesn’t even apply to you.

What does make the difference is following someone each step of the way, who isn’t just creating videos to feed Youtube’s algorithms, and trying to appeal to people’s super-short attention spans with ‘snacks’ of content.

And instead shows you what to do from their own time-tested methods, takes the time to explain why it should be done that way, and even exactly what to do if it all goes wrong.
Belief #3

I don't have the time...

Fear not, this course is distilled down to absolute zero waffle and time wasting. The lessons are in short bit-sized chunks and you can follow along in your own time.

But let me ask you a question; when was the last time you tried to do something, but got stuck - and it ended up being a way bigger job than you realised?

Having a solid grasp of all this saves you infinite time - because you can just design the thing, and know how you’re going to do it, and what mistakes to avoid, all before you begin.

This way, you’re not stopping every two minutes trying to find your way on numerous websites - or worse, just not designing the exact print you need. That means you’re not using your printer to create, fix, inspire or improve the world around you.
Belief #4

I can't afford it...

Don’t worry, we’ve got your back. While this course will undoubtedly save you many lost hours of frustration and a ton of filament costs, we’re offering it for you today at an irresistibly low price, making it truly accessible to everyone.

What’s more (and this is the important bit) - if for whatever reason you don’t feel what you get is worth the money, or you just don’t like it for any reason, just let us know within 30 days of purchase and we’ll give you a complete refund of the money paid.

We’ll even let you keep access to the bonuses as a gesture of goodwill - because we believe in taking all the risk here, so that the most people possible can benefit from this valuable training.

Your Course Instructor

Jason Suter’s a very well respected designer in the RC model space, where his to-scale, hyper realistic models not only represent his incredible skill at forming digital models from real life inspiration, but also highly practical mechanical aspects.

For example, he’s even been known to fully 3D print his own design micro differential gearboxes from nylon to fit inside his scratch-built & designed RC models.

Perhaps most impressively is his uncanny ability to design models with print-in-place moving components from scratch, that work first time, first print. And his time-tested methods aren’t luck; and they’re the exact things he’s going to be tutoring you in this course.

You’re going to get the skills and true experience he’s taken years to master, and be able to apply it to your next 3D print.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few answers to our most common questions

Why should I get training for Fusion 360?

Being able to easily and fully customise what you choose to print with your 3D printer is a necessity. Otherwise, for the most part you might as well just buy pre-made stuff off the shelves. To really unlock your printer, you need to be able to print things that are right for whatever you want to use them for.

While some basics can learnt fairly easily with design, there is a massive difference between normal 3D design and designing specifically for 3D printing. In a way that ensures your prints come out looking good, print easily and work as they should.

Your tutor, Jason Suter is one of the top 3D printing designers in the world by our standards, so there's no one better to take you through the dos and don'ts, and all his exact processes to learn this quickly so your designs work, every time.

Are you ready to take the restrictions off your 3D printing?

How long will it take to complete?

How long it will take you to complete the course, vs how long it will take you to get significant value from the course are two very different questions.

Each video lesson is compact, so you'll start to get time, filament and frustration saving techniques a short way into the content. You can go through everything methodically (advised) or if you're short on time, just skip to the lessons you need right now and come back to the others later.

The full training for the Meshmixer course is approximately 3 hours long in total and is fully comprehensive in what is covered - but may take slightly longer to complete in a follow-along capacity (for which it is designed).

What if I don't have time right now?

Great question! We get that people can have busy lives. That's why while there might be a time limit on the offer today, there's no time restriction on when or how fast you complete the trainings.

How much time do you waste when an unexpected fault arises, not just the hassle of restarting the print, but the hours of confusing searching online for a remedy, that still might not work.

Wouldn't you rather have the complete skill set needed to quick create a completely custom 3D print in minutes, with amazing results each time?

With our condensed, easy to follow step by step trainings you can work through at your own pace. Invest in this program and you'll have access to the content ongoing, for one super-low fixed price.

What if I don't like the course, or change my mind?

We believe in honest business practice. What that means is, we're so confident you'll get a ton of value from this unparalleled Design For 3D Printing training that we're happy to take on all the risk.

If for whatever reason you don't like the training - just get in touch within 30 days of purchase and we'll refund you if you feel you've not got value from it, or for whatever reason you've changed your mind.

Dosen't matter if it's 29 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes after you've bought it, our 100% moneyback guarantee still stands.

Can't I just get all this stuff off Youtube?

Free sites like Youtube can be useful, but they don't contain all the information you need. List of "top 7 things to do in Fusion 360" won't help you master it, they're likely just give you enough information to get frustrated at all the stuff you don't know.

Even if you can get OK at design, you'll then have to learn all the skills of design for 3D printing, which is very different.

We set out to create the most comprehensive training course for Fusion 360 specifically for 3D printing available, so that someone can follow it step by step, to get great results, easily and in record time - all without wondering what to do next, or in what order.

We don't assume anything, so everything is explained in plain English, without jargon so that anyone can follow on from the complete beginning.

Who should or should not take this course?

Who should take this course:

Anyone whose brand new to 3D printing (even if you don't have a 3D printer yet it's good to be prepared!) or has been printing a while but doesn't feel confident using design or modelling software.

Anyone who just wants to save time, so they can quickly create their own files from scratch to create (or fix) anything they want without restrictions.

Who should not take this course:

If you know absolutely everything you need to know about 3D design and have your 3D designs always print perfectly every time (even the intricate ones with print-in-place moving components).

Will I be able to watch these videos off-line if required?

Yes, we understand that sometimes internet connections can be patchy so we have enabled this feature within the login area.

Why do I need to learn about Fusion 360?

Because in our vast experience, we fully believe that Autodesk's Fusion 360 is the best design tool available to create 3D printable designs. The workflow allows infinitely complex designs created (should you wish) yet without being complicated to use.

Is this different to your Fusion 360 trainings inside The Institute of 3D Printing training suite?

There are sections that are updated, but fundamentally this is the same course that you can find in our training suite. However this is a stand alone price, with bonuses and no monthly subscription fee. Pay just once and you get to keep the course - including any free updates in future as we release them.

Is this a subscription product, or is there any catch to this offer?

No, this is a complete stand-alone course. The price you see is what you pay, and it's a one-time investment.

We're offering at such a great discount for a short period of time to make it accessible to the most amount of people we can. We want to help as many people as possible get more control over exactly what they print, and how they print it, and we felt this fantastic offer was the best way to do that.

Do I need a 3D printer to get started?

While most people taking this course will already have a 3D printer, it makes perfect sense to invest in the course before your 3D printer arrives. Doing so will give you the confidence to start using it correctly to begin with, and print files the right way. It's always best to start as you mean to go on.

Do we get updates to this course in future included in this price?

Yes! Any updates we make to this course in future will be included. We invest heavily in keeping our content up to date. As we update in future, you will get access automatically (no extra charge). We periodically update our content, so you can be confident it's relevant.

In fact we've just updated this course for 2022 with an additional 90 minutes of follow-along projects that allow you to create additional more complex design elements, all while being perfectly 3D printable.

What exactly does the 30 day money back guarantee mean?

Exactly what it says. If you buy the course, and for whatever reason you're not happy within 30 days of ordering (if it's 29 days, 23 hours and 58 minutes after) just let us know and if you'd like a refund you can have one.

We don't believe in keeping your money if you're not fully satisfied. So we want to make this an entirely risk-free investment for you.
