United StatesComplete Guide to 3D Print Postprocessing, Painting, and Detailing
The course is available only in English language.
The first half of the course consists of theory lessons.
We start with workshop equipment and continue with the necessary “grunt work,” i.e., gluing, filling, and sanding.
This is followed by painting, both with a paintbrush and spray paint; and we’ll also briefly cover airbrushing.
You’ll learn the basics of more advanced techniques for enhancing details and the overall look of the model, such as edge highlighting, washes, or drybrushing.
In the second half of the course, you’ll find sample projects where we demonstrate the techniques and tools described in the theory lessons on specific models. In a detailed “step-by-step” format, we always describe the complete process from a fresh print to a finished model.
First up is Robo Alpaca, the popular mascot of our Prusa MK4 printers. This project focuses on the basics of brush painting.
In the second project, we show the Landy Mini model from 3DSets. In this case, we mostly used spray paint cans.
The theme of the third project is the Khanjarli dagger. Here, we demonstrate more advanced brush painting methods, such as imitating a metallic surface and sparkling gemstones using regular, non-metallic paints.

This course is focused on 3D print postprocessing, i.e. transforming freshly printed models into their intended final form: from gluing, filling, and sanding, to complete painting and various methods of enhancing details. It is suitable for total beginners, but it includes plenty of thorough information, tips, and tricks, making it worthwhile for more experienced makers as well.
As a gift with the course, you’ll receive a completely free 3D model of the Waco YMF-5 biplane from 3DLabPrint, valued at $60 (so you’ll save more than the course itself costs)!
In a moment after the purchase, you will get a confirmation email with a link. No extra registration is needed - you are already logged in with your Prusa Account credentials. The whole content of the course is unlocked right from the beginning.
