• Customizing models from STL libraries (like Thingiverse or Printables)
• Modifying scans or existing files for personalization using calipers 

Workflow & File Optimization

• Slicer settings for complex designs (walls, infill, supports, orientation)
• Print testing: how to break down complex models for better print quality 
• How to reduce failed prints through better model planning 

Real-World Application Projects 

• Design and print something functional: cable organizer, drawer divider, tool holder, or customized gadget
• Discuss prototyping, product development, or teaching applications 

🎯 Who This Is For:

● Participants who have completed the beginner workshop

● Hobbyists or small business owners designing practical objects

● Educators or STEM coaches looking to expand their skillset

● Anyone comfortable with basic 3D design and ready for more complex projects 

📦 Takeaways:

● A deeper understanding of design thinking for 3D printing

● A printed functional project you designed

● Readiness to move into CAD software like Fusion 360 or Blender, if desired

● Optional access to continued practice time or mentoring
