I took a class at a local library, and while most of it was basic, it was really interesting seeing what they felt was the most important to teach (how to shrink a design in the slicer software and minimize print durations), and also really cool to see all their abandoned projects people made and left behind, or half built with the infill structure visible.
I found it really interesting to learn about all the types of infill patterns and when to use them.
Honestly, I'd love to do something like that. Unfortunately I live in Korea, and my Korean is fairly limited, so I would mostly be lost. But maybe if I get good enough with it, I can organize get-togethers in the local immigrant community.
