To submit files for 3D printing please complete all of the following steps:

Please note that 3D prints will be dealt with in order of receipt and that your file will be printed as is, the makerspace team will not modify your print unless 'supports' are required - you will need to remove these supports post print.

• save your completed design as an .stl file to your One Drive or if you're ready to slice, send us your GCODE file.
• click on the '3D Print Submissions' button below and click 'New' to submit a print request.
• complete your name, email, description of print and the preferred single colour of your print. The Makerspace reserves the right to use an alternative filament colour, if preferred choice is unavailable.
• attach the .stl file / GCODE file from your OneDrive.
• if your print is declined you will be notified by email.
• please read the terms & conditions of 3D printing in the library makerspace.

To avoid unnecessary waste and to accommodate demand, 3D prints may initially be capped at 5 x 3D prints per user, per semester.
