Training for post-production work has already been covered by the live demo and the safety training video mentioned above. Typically, you are removing a brim and support material from the model, with some sanding or smoothing from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reserve_a_time\"><\/span>Reserve a time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people find it more convenient to use our tools to do these steps. Reserve an <strong>Open Workspace<\/strong>  (just one of the empty tables) at the MakerSpace. Reserving not only guarantees that you have a space to work, but it also gives us data to prove that MakerSpace is wanted and needed by our community \u2014\u00a0meaning our hard work is rewarded with more resources to serve <strong>you<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Document_the_results\"><\/span>Document the results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Show off your finished print on your process journal or blog by taking simple but careful photographs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clean the lens!&nbsp;<\/strong>| When you pull your phone out of your linty pocket with your smudgy fingers, the lens gets dirty.

(In iOS: Settings&gt;Camera&gt;Grid. In Android: Settings&gt;Apps&gt;Camera&gt;Grid Lines). Choose a frame proportion (like Photo or Square in iOS) and orientation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Composition<\/strong>&nbsp;| Your work is the focal point. Provide only enough background for us to understand this is an image of your fabrication in real space, and make sure everything the field of view is there because you&nbsp;<strong>want<\/strong>&nbsp;it there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid digital zoom<\/strong>&nbsp;| Instead, move closer to your subject.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NO flash<\/strong>\u00a0| Always a terrible outcome!

Just sign up for an\u00a0<strong><strong>Open Workspace<\/strong><\/strong>, and use these tools for easy, simple, professional results!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Steady yourself or use a pocket tripod<\/strong>&nbsp;| Lean against a wall or furniture to help steady your hand. Otherwise, a small tripod is a good choice. MakerSpace has a phone tripod you may use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Play with editing and exposure<\/strong>\u00a0| You can make the color more saturated, crop an image, brighten a dark image, or vice versa.
