G-HAC-001E | Hackathon Crash Course [ENGLISH] (A) - TMS Special Course

Get hands-on with three of MakerSpace's core fabrication tools in one intensive session: laser cutting, 3D printing, and the electronics workbench. This crash course covers only the practical machine operation — any software basics or theory need to be worked out on your own beforehand. Build your hackathon toolkit from the ground up!

Explore the basics for your project

This hackathon crash course gives you hands-on access to three essential MakerSpace tools in a single, compact session: the laser cutter, 3D printing, and the electronics workbench (soldering irons, AC/DC power supply, multimeter, etc.).

Please note: 
This course covers practical machine operation only. It does not include instruction in the associated software (Inkscape, PrusaSlicer®) or the underlying theory (circuit design, electricity basics, CAD). If your hackathon project depends on these, make sure to prepare that groundwork yourself before the course — we'll focus entirely on getting your hands on the machines.

What you can do after the crash course:

  • Operate the laser cutter safely to cut and engrave your prepared designs
  • Operate the 3D printers (Prusa® MK4 and Prusa® Mini) to print your prepared models in PLA, PETG, or TPU
  • Use the electronics workbench safely to solder components and assemble basic circuits
  • Combine all three tools to bring your hackathon prototype to life quickly

This crash course is designed to get hackathon participants fabrication-ready fast — it is not a substitute for the full individual safety and basic function courses (SBFC) required for independent, ongoing use of the laser cutter, 3D printers, or electronics lab in MakerSpace.

 

Machine

  • Laser cutter Epilog FusionPro 32
  • Prusa® MK4, Prusa® XL, Prusa® Mini
