As part of its exhibition "Fix it! The Happiness of Repairing", the Museum.BL is offering a unique course: Under the guidance of experienced 3D professional Sebastian Pfirter, you will build your own 3D printer from a kit.
3D printers are becoming increasingly popular in the repair scene. Spare parts that are no longer available can be printed using these devices. This allows you to extend the service life of many a device or piece of equipment and produce components of your own design. The global community enables an unprecedented exchange of experience.
Registration deadline: 19.10.2025
Prerequisites
- You reserve a place on the course with Pit Schmid, the curator of the exhibition (pit.schmid@bl.ch)
- You order a Prusa MK4S 3D printer as a kit. The purchase of your own kit is mandatory.
- You send your proof of purchase by e-mail to Pit Schmid.
- Your participation will be confirmed by e-mail. A total of 5 workstations are available.
- You give Museum.BL permission to document the course with photos/video.
Procedure
- You show up for the first course date with your originally packed kit
- On each course date, components are assembled under professional supervision.
- The kits are stored safely in the museum between course dates.
- At the end of the course, you will take your own fully functional 3D printer home with you.
Your advantages
- Apart from purchasing your kit, the course is free of charge for you.
- You know your 3D printer down to the last detail.
- You get to know like-minded people who own the same printer.
- A professional will be on hand to answer your questions throughout the construction phase.
A Prusa Printer MK4S is permanently running in the "Fix it!" exhibition, which you can view during opening hours. On September 16, Museum.BL invites you to the museum bar entitled "Layer by layer - repairing with the 3D printer". In a short lecture, Sebastian Pfirter, industrial designer FH, will talk about the world of three-dimensional printing.
