3D Print Consultation Reservation (Creative Maker Studio) Capacity: 1

Description

Students who wish to submit a 3D Print Submission must make a 30-minute consultation appointment. 

During your 3D print consultation, CMS staff will review your 3D model, help you choose the preferred settings for your print, and format the file (.STL) for printing. Files may be brought in on a flash drive or accessed/downloaded on our iMac computer inside the CMS. 

Need help finding a 3D model? We recommend the website thingiverse.com, printables.com, and makerworld.com where you can find free to download user-created digital design files. Want to 3D model but don't know where to start? Check out tinkercad.com a free, easy-to-use app for 3D design and start modeling now!

3D Print Consultation Policies:

• Students may submit only a single request at a time. 

• 3D Print consultations may only accommodate one student at a time per appointment. A CSUN MataCard or physical CSUN ID is required upon arrival.

• The student who made the reservation must stay for the entire duration of the 3D print consultation until the CMS staff dismisses them. Students must anticipate staying for the full 30-minute consultation. 

• Each submission may not exceed five models with a total weight of 160 grams and total print time of 10 hours.

• All 3D printing requests must be submitted as .STL files. Consultations will be restricted to 3D print slicing software technicalities; i.e. PrusaSlicer

• 3D designs must be found online or created by students prior to your reservation time slot. Reservation time slots will not be extended for file browsing or designing.

• CMS staff will briefly evaluate each submitted file for size, compatibility with printer, and the need for support.

• Students are responsible for design specifications (including measurements, color, thickness of shell, support, and overhangs) so special requests have to be spelled out in appropriate form field.

• Students will receive an estimated time for delivery of print job once the job has been evaluated and submitted to the print queue. Actual print time will vary depending on model size and number of jobs in queue.

  • Estimated time does not account for problems that may arise with 3D printer. Students should allow at least two (2) weeks for an approved print job to be completed.

• Students are solely responsible for their own project deadlines – plan accordingly.

  • While class projects are prioritized in the print queue, we recommend submitting at least two weeks before your deadline.
