The 3D Printers are YELLOW tools, and require additional training

To help make 3D printing at quelab awesome-er, sign up for the 3d-printing mailing list. It's low-volume, but high-quality.

Training & Problems

Training is currently in flux. To be trained on the 3D printers, please contact the 3D printing officer via the 3d-printing mailing list to set up meeting on an open night. Without prior arrangement, there is no guarantee that there will be a 3D printing trainer available during an open night, however.

For information on usage, tips and 3D printing stuff, see:
