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?

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

We have three Bambu Lab printers available:

(2x) Bambu Lab X1 Carbon (Requires Basic FDM Orientation)

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

(1x) Bambu Lab H2D (Requires Basic FDM Orientation)

 * Dual-nozzle system for multi-material printing
 * Build Volume: 325mm × 320mm × 325mm (single nozzle), 300mm × 320mm × 325mm (shared space)
 * Nozzle Size: 0.4mm
 * Materials Supported: PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA, Nylon, Carbon Fiber composites
 * Slicer Used: Bambu Studio

Elegoo Orangestorm Giga

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

Build Volume: 800mm × 800mm × 1000mm
Nozzle Size: 0.6mm (will be changed to 1.0mm before orientation)
Materials Supported: PLA, PETG
Slicer Used: OrcaSlicer
