In this [[TV]], we will take you through the steps of designing an egg shaker in [[Solidworks|SolidWorks]], preparing the print in [[PrusaSlicer]], and then 3D printing it using the [[Prusa 3D Printer]].

==Printing==
<strong>Step 31:</strong> If everything looks good, click Export G-code in the bottom right corner and save the G-code on an SD card. You are now ready to take the SD card to one of the Prusa 3D printers and begin your print (make sure the MK3/MK3S on the printer matches what you selected in PrusaSlicer). Log your print and use the dry erase markers to record your contact info and print duration. Clean the build plate with a few drops of alcohol before you start your print.

==Finishing==
<strong>Step 34:</strong> Once the print finishes, remove the entire build plate from the printer (it is magnetically held in place). Gently flex the build plate in various directions to loosen the print. Use your hands to pull the print and support structure off. Only use the scraper as a last resort for removing the print. Scrapers damage the build plate and shorten their lifespan. Reset the space for the next person who will use the printer after you.

<strong>Step 36:</strong> You should now have a functional egg shaker! Go make some music.
