Please fill out the form below to submit a request for your 3D print job.

Only TAMS students may submit print jobs and are free for TAMS students (for the time being)

Submission Requirements

  • Only .stl files are accepted for print jobs.
  • If you need to convert a file format to .stl, you can use Creo or Autodesk Inventor (available in the TAMS Computer Lab)
  • The maximum print size 280 mm x 280 mm x 285 mm (11.02 in x 11.02 in x 11.22 in)

Expectations

  • All submissions will be reviewed in 2-3 business days
  • Approved submissions will be printed in 1-5 business days
  • Submissions will..
    • be printed in ABS or PLA unless there is a significant justification for another filament.
    • be printed as they come. We will not make any changes to submitted files, so please check to make sure the print files meet expectations before submission.
    • not be sanded or finished with isopropyl alcohol.
  • When a print is finished you will be notified and the print will be left at the front desk for pickup.

Tips for a better print

  • Upload the .stl file to a slicer program (Ultimaker cura or Cura Lulzbot) to make sure dimensions are correct
  • Larger prints take a long time and are more likely to fail. If possible split the print into multiple parts to improve chances for a better quality print.
