How to use the 3D Printer

Please see the steps below and a quick snapshot of what it's like to create something using the 3D printer. It is very easy, so no body should feel overwhelmed by the process. The hardest part is finding an object you would like to print. If you would like a face-to-face lesson on how to create your own 3D object, please email me to schedule a time at your convenience and I will be happy to give you the hands on experience.

You will only do this once. In the future, you will log in to your account and search for or create your own 3D objects to print.

When prompted, make sure you save it as an .STL file. Then click on the file you just downloaded. It will automatically open in the Makerbot program.

If you are happy with the way your design looks, you are ready to print. Press the print button and watch it go!

Your object is printing! Sit back and watch the printer "build" your object!
