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, ##general, #shop-3d-printing, and #shop-laser.

Where do I find 3D models?

Recommended 3D Modeling Software

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

FDM Printers

Bambu Lab

(2x) Bambu Lab X1-C (Requires Basic FDM Orientation)

One is equipped with the AMS system for multicolor / multimaterial
Build Volume: 256mm x 256mm x 256mm
Nozzle Size: 0.4mm
Materials Supported: PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA, Nylon, TPU, Soluble Support Materials
Slicer Used: Bambu Studio

See Page: Bambu Lab 3d Printer

Ender 5 Plus

No orientation is currently available, but can be given permission to use through Jess as needed. This requires experience in 3d printing and being comfortable with pre-Bambu systems of loading filament, calibrating the printer etc.

Build Volume: 350x350x400
Nozzle Size: 0.4mm
Materials Supported: PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA, TPU
Slicer Used: OrcaSlicer

See Page: Ender 5 Plus 3d Printer

Elegoo Orangestorm Giga

Requires Large Format Printing Orientation / Permission from Jess to use Currently still being integrated into the makerspace

Build Volume: 800x800x1000
Nozzle Size: 0.6mm (will be changed to 1.0mm before orientation)
Materials Supported: PLA, PETG
Slicer Used: OrcaSlicer

Resin Printers

Uniformation GKtwo

Build Volume: 228*128*245mm
X/Y Resolution: 29.6 um
Built in heater to maintain optimal resin curing temps
Slicer software: Lychee
Resin Supported: 405nm UV Cured
