Quick first activity for students that's different from the keychain.

1. Rename the design in the top left corner. This will help when you're printing. Trust me.

2. Click and drag either the cylinder, cube, or some other basic shape over. Set measurement parameters for students and make sure they've followed the correct dimensions.

Looking Out for Errors.

1. The number on error in printing is that the shape did not rest on the workplane. First possible fix is to lower the shape to sit on the workplane. If the student already rotated it somehow and it won't sit flat, have the student start a new design or place a "hole" shape below the badge at the workplane.
