-====== 3D Printing ====== 
- 
-<WRAP round caution>The 3D Printers are [[:training|YELLOW tools]], and require additional training</WRAP> 
- 
-To help make 3D printing at quelab awesome-er, sign up for the [[http://pepper.quelab.net/mailman/listinfo/3d-printing|3d-printing mailing list]]. It's low-volume, but high-quality.

-===== Training & Problems ===== 
- 
-<WRAP important round> 
-Training is currently in flux. To be trained on the 3D printers, please contact the 3D printing officer via the [[http://pepper.quelab.net/mailman/listinfo/3d-printing|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: 
- 
-  * Using [[usage|MatterControl]] to print models, as well as 
-  * A set of [[care_and_feeding|troubleshooting and maintenance]] steps. 
- 
-===== Materials ===== 
- 
-Different 3D printers accept different materials. Check the page for [[:hardware:3dprinter:start#makes_and_models|whichever printer you are using]] to identify allowable filament. 
- 
-The table below specifies costs of materials kept at Quelab. 
- 
-<WRAP info> All values are in //per-gram//    increments of ALL consumed materials, **including**   failed prints and support material.</WRAP> 
- 
-^Material ^Members ^Non-Members | 
-|ABS |$0.10 |$0.20 | 
-|PLA |$0.10 |$0.20 | 
-|NinjaFlex(([[hardware:3dprinter:prusai3|Prusa i3]] only))  |TBD: Likely in the $0.60/g range || 
-|IGUS [[http://www.igus.com/wpck/15422/iglidur_TriboFilament|Tribo]] |Go get a sample from IGUS. It's expensive. || 
- 
-Materials must be cleared by a 3D printing officer. 
- 
-Materials previously cleared for use in the 3D printers: 
- 
-    * Filamentium / FilamentOne PLA Extrafill 
-    * Zen Toolworks ABS and PLA 
-    * NinjaFlex 
-    * IGUS Tribo filament 
- 
-Any material that is in the 3D printing room is considered cleared if it is on the rack above the 3D printers.
