What can you make in the Maker Space?
3D Printing projects can be done on one of our seven 3D printers available for public prints. Items can be printed in all sorts of solid and blended colors. Our printers use the .stl file format for 3D models. You can download model files from popular 3D communities such as Thingiverse and Yeggi or you can create a model yourself from scratch with free programs like Tinkercad and SketchUp. The cost to print a 3D model is $0.10 per gram of PLA plastic and $0.05 per ml of UV resin. Resin prints include a $2 base charge to cover the cost of consumables.
