** One unit is equipped with the AMS system for multicolor/multimaterial printing
*Members will unload any previous filament in the machine, and add your preferred filament into the machine through the small white tube sticking out the back of the machine.
** Build Volume: 256mm × 256mm × 256mm
*Members will click load on the machine, and the machine should heat up, and purge the old filament. Make sure to check that the filament has been purged by looking at where it sticks out inside the machine.
** Nozzle Size: 0.4mm
*Open Bamboo studio and add your print.
** Materials Supported: PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA, Nylon, TPU, Soluble Support Materials
*Look to make sure the plate in your machine, and the filament type matches what is put in Bamboo Studios.
** Slicer Used: Bambu Studio
*Make sure you have the infill you want selected.
*Add any necessary supports to the piece.
*Slice the Plate, you should get an estimated time that the print will take.
*Hit Print.
*Stay with the print for the first few layers, to hopefully catch any early errors (You can click stop or pause when you notice these errors).<br>
*Afterwards remove your print and get rid of the filament that has been purged onto the plate while the machine was preparing.

*Members will go through various 3D print websites and pick/download a design that you want to 3D print.<br>
*Members will unload any previous filament in the machine, members will have to do this for each filament in the machine.
*Members will put their filament into the AMS system, we recommend only using three of the four possible colors, as that is when most issues start to occur. We also recommend not using the filaments that are on cardboard as it often gets stuck on the machine.
*Members will load the filament through a white tube on the inside of that machine. You will have to do this for every filament you use. Make sure to update the machine with what filament is in each slot.
*Members will click load on the machine, and the machine should heat up, and purge the old filament. Make sure to check that the filament has been purged by looking at where it sticks out inside the machine.&nbsp;
*Open Bamboo Studio and add your print.
*Look to make sure the plate in your machine, and the filament type match what is put in Bamboo Studios.
*Make sure you have the infill you want selected.
*You can now click on the paint bucket and add the different colors to your print, you can change the color by adding filament through bamboo studio. Remember that when using this machine it creates a lot of wasted filament because it has to purge filament every time there is a color change, so be smart about where color changes occur.
*Add any necessary supports to the piece.
*Slice the Plate, you should get an estimated time that the print will take.
*Hit Print.
*Stay with the print for the first few layers, to hopefully catch any early errors (You can click stop or pause when you notice these errors).<br>
*Afterwards remove your print and get rid of the filament that has been purged onto the plate while the machine was preparing.

General Information

This page provides general information about the 3D Printers available at the makerspace, and directs makerspace members toward specific equipment pages for each printer. The 3D printers can be found inside the Clean Room.

If you have any issues with Clean Room equipment, the slack channels associated with this space include: #general, #shop-3d-printing, and #shop-laser.

Where do I find 3D models?

  • TinkerCAD - Browser based, cloud-based, approachable for makers of all ages
  • Fusion 360 - Cloud-based parametric 3D modeling software. Collaborative, powerful, free license available
  • LuBan - Has a number of fun features for scaling models to any size, lithographs, box making, extrusion, etc. We have a license for this software on-site, available on the PC located in the 3D Printing Area
