3D Printer



Training Session Information for 3d Printer: Friday, October 5th @ 5:00PM
By: Kyle Miller
In the DFL we have two new Makerbot Replicator 3d printers. The first of the two Makerbots is a single extrusion head which can print one color. The printing bed is 6”X9”. The other has a two extrusion heads which can print two colors at the same time. It is also 6”X9” printing bed. Right now the Makerbot is not going to be used. But there is a Training Session at the DFL for Friday, October 5th at 5:00 p.m. For the session you will need to have either Google sketch up and/or Rhino. Export as an .stl file. You can invent whatever you would like. The image below is what the Makerbot Replicator looks like and something you can make.
