The host is very nice and knowledgable, but this isn't really a "hands-on workshop" as described. It's really a prolonged lecture with useful info if you're already serious about getting started with 3D printing at home. We were all expecting more of a hands-on assignment with instructions to design an item and print it ourselves. If you're expecting something analogous to a cooking or painting experience, this is not it. Instead, it was a lot of talking, and towards the end some of us got to search for an STL file online and email it to him for printing.

I was very disappointed with this experience. I booked it as part of a team offsite, and unfortunately, the feedback from my team was overwhelmingly negative. They felt it was a waste of time and were surprised that it was even listed as a 3D printing experience.

According to them, the session mostly involved sitting in a room and eating snacks provided by Ricardo. There was no hands-on 3D printing activity, which was what everyone had been most excited about. Many had hoped to create something to take home to their kids, and they left feeling let down and disengaged.

It was especially disappointing because other offsite experiences I organized received great feedback, and this one fell far short of expectations. What was meant to be an engaging, creative team activity turned into an afternoon that felt unproductive and off-theme. Overall, it was a frustrating and embarrassing experience for me as the organizer.

I booked this experience with a couple of other Airbnb employees looking to learn more about 3d printing! It was a great crash course into the ins and outs of 3d printing. He covered models, slicing, and materials, and machines. I feel like i have a pretty good understanding of how I start this new hobby and he graciously said he's available for any 3d printing questions i may have in the future. Very knowledgeable!

This is such a great experience if you've been wanting to learn more about or potentially get into 3D modeling. Ricardo, our host, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient when answering all of our questions. Got to take home a small souvenir, and enough knowledge to get started in 3D printing at home. Thank you Ricardo!!
