230 Leazar Hall Maker Space

The Bayley Information Technology Laboratory provides multiple 3D printers for making models, prototypes and physical artifacts. Users must plan ahead to use these printers, as the time required to process files can take hours or days. File(s) must be submitted online with the appropriate staff member or with a lab attendant in the main Checkout Window in the Brooks 203 IT Lab during its normal business hours. Contact one of the Full Time staff members for consultation/assistance.

Direct access to the 3D printers is not available to users. Please plan ahead. You may be able to print directly to the MakerBot Sketch 3D printers in the hybrid computer clusters or access the Ender 3 V2 Pro 3D printers in Lampe Digital Fabrication Studio.

Fill out the Request 3D Printing Service Form to have your file(s) processed for 3D printing in the lab.

Please review our Filament Guideline for 3D Printing.

General 3D Model and Printer Notes

College of Design 3D printers are only available for College of Design students, faculty, and staff. Students must be a current Design major, minor, or currently registered for a Design course.

Pricing may change during the semester, in some instances the Department or Design Discipline may purchase 3D Printing consumable resources for their students – please ask. In some instances, there may be remnant rolls of filament that can be used to print for free.

All purchases are made directly through Wolf Print Papercut — please be sure to manually transfer funds directly from AllCampus to WolfPrint Papercut as needed.

• Price for Formlabs resin printing:
  • $0.30/mL (White, Draft, Clear, Flexible)

• Price for third-party brand resin printing:
  • $0.15/mL (White, Grey, Draft)
• Price for PLA/PETG filament:
  • $0.30/g (Primarily: Black, White, Grey)

• Price for P430 ABSplus (Ivory) Mojo printing:
  • Materials fee:$5.00/cubic inch
  • Required build plate fee: $4.00 each

An accurate volume, build cost, and build time estimate can only be provided once the model file is processed
– Please note we no longer print with bulk ABS filament.

• Payment will be made using WolfPrint print credit.
• You must manually move funds from AllCampus to WolfPrint
• Pre-payment is necessary before initiating build.

Plan at least a few days, if not a week, in advance to take into account the build time, post-processing clean up, assembly, painting and possible delays.

• STL files can only be used for 3D printers
  (Note: STL files do not contain color or image texture maps).
• Pre-scale models so that wall thicknesses can be adjusted independent of overall scale – avoid 2D planars that have no dimensions.
• Be sure to check the units (ideally mm) used during STL export and approximate finished build size (scaled) in XYZ.
