File Upload

Prior to submitting this form, use Cura to slice your model using the materials and settings you want to use, and save that Cura project file. If you need help slicing your model, consult with the Digital 3D fabrication lab TA. Once you have created your Cura project file with the settings you want, save it with a file name in the following format: Lastname_Firstname_Projectname.3mf

Click on the link below to upload your Cura project file.

Cura File Upload

Also upload a copy of the STL file or (files if your Cura project contains more than one object) that you are printing - the files that you brought into Cura to slice. They also need to be saved with a file name that has your name - Lastname_Firstname_Objectname.stl

Click on the link below to upload your STL file(s)

STL File Upload

I have uploaded both my Cura project file and my STL files.

YesNo (If you are about to click No, stop submitting this form, create your Cura project file as you want your object(s) printed, and submit the Cura project file and STL file(s) so you can answer Yes here.)

MATERIAL CALCULATION

Open your Cura file with the materials and settings you want to use. Once you click the Slice button in Cura, mouse over the "i" in a circle at the bottom right next to the estimated print time for a small pop-up window with info about the print. At the bottom under Material Estimation you can see the number of grams of each material. If you are unsure about Cura settings, talk with the Digital 3D Lab TA.

Print Materials:
- PLA and Tough PLA are the default materials for most jobs.
- ABS must be coordinated with the Digital 3D Lab TA
- Other Materials must be coordinated with the Digital 3D Lab TA. You will see a field below to enter the pricing as discussed with Collin and/or the TA.

Support Materials:
- PLA / ABS: You can save time and money by printing your supports in the same material as your model, but that might require more post-printing processing.
- Ultimaker Breakaway: The next cheapest material for your supports.
- Ultimaker PVA: a water-soluble support material that should only be used when absolutely necessary (supports in very small or hard-to-reach crevices that can't be removed with needle-nose pliers), as it is quite expensive and can cause failed prints due to the filament's brittleness. If you think you might need to print with PVA, talk with Collin first.

PRINT MATERIALS: Tap on the line of the material you want to print with to enter the calculated weight. (All materials $0.12 per gram)
