Advanced 3D software, used in Elon’s Engineering classes.Advanced 3D CAD/CAM package, best for technical designs and machine work, supports assemblies and multiple components.Intuitive beginner 3D design program, suitable for small trinkets and simple designsįusion 360: free install for students, makers, and university employees.Use one of these tools to design your 3d model: If you’ve already completed the training and need a refresh, read the 3D printing Cheat Sheet. Our 3D Printing: Getting Started training is a good introduction to 3D printing. If you’d like to use another specialty filament for a special project, please contact the Maker Hub and explain your project and what material you’d like to use.
At the end of the semester, we’ll determine whether to make the switch permanent. If you like or don’t like the new filament, let us know. It’s called PolyTerra and can be thrown in any compost bin at Elon, allowing us to compost failed prints, and supports. In Fall 2023, we’re piloting a new varient of PLA filament that is fully compostable. What type of plastic do your printers use? The printing software should provide you with a rough estimate of print time. Large complex pieces can take dozens of hours. Really small objects can print under an hour. The final print time depends on the quality and detail of your printed object. How long does it take to print something on the 3D printer? If you’d like to add more colors, you can paint the 3D prints. No, the objects you print with our 3D printers will be a single color. A user can print up to 80 hours a week.If you need more help, stop by a location, and a Consultant can help you. If your file is estimated to take more than 20 hours, adjust the layer height to a larger value, like. A single 3D print must take less than 20 hours to print.In addition, you must abide by all applicable laws and Elon Technology’s Acceptable Usage Policy.Īre there limits to how much I can 3D print? No, there is no cost for printing in the Maker Hub.Īnything you print must follow the Maker Hub’s policies. Learn more about the 3D printers in the Maker Hub. 3D prints are free for Elon students, faculty and staff. 3D printers allow you to turn your ideas into physical objects.
