1. Standard processing of 3D Prints and Washing (support removal) is scheduled from 7-7:30PM nightly.  Any prints waiting for printing or washing will be started during that time window (unless a critical mass has already been reached and jobs were started earlier to optimize production).
2. If a student submits a model that takes up 75% or more of the bed (8"x6" for UPrint, 10"x10" for Fortus) or the wash volume (8"x6"x6"), submit print/wash immediately.
3. If a student submits a model that takes up less than 75% of the bed, there are 3 options:
   1. Only print this model if it can be combined and submitted on or before (date), otherwise cancel and notify.
   2. Wait until (date) to combine, then print by itself if necessary.
   3. Print ASAP, combine if possible.
4. When a model is received the student can be notified of the distribution of support material created by the SMART fill option, and can opt to have the print automatically placed in the wash queue for the following day.
5. Due to the possible savings of combining files in both the build and wash, we encourage all student who are attempting to combine files to pay for their model after it is completed.
6. If a group of students come together to the desk and submit models that take up >75% of the bed, that set of models can be started immediately. 
7. Base cost for printing and washing is divided by number of people, not by surface area, volume or numbers of objects.
8. Models will generally take one day (overnight) to print and one day (overnight) to wash.  So generally, models can be picked up in the morning 2 days after they are submitted if using an ASAP option or 2 days after they are combined and submitted based on dates you provide.  These general time estimates will not hold during times of large print volume when there is a backlog.  When printing jobs that use only a raft of support material, processing time is 1 day (i.e. print only).

Paper 3D print jobs (MCOR Iris)

Our Service Desk staff will use the following submission process for accepting paper 3D print jobs:

1. If a student submits a model that takes up 75% or more of the bed (10"x6.5"x5.75"), submit print immediately.
2. If a student submits a model that takes up less than 75% of the bed, there are 3 options:
   1. Only print this model if it can be combined and submitted on or before (date), otherwise cancel and notify.
   2. Wait until (date) to combine, then print by itself if necessary.
   3. Print ASAP, combine if possible.
3. Due to the possible savings of combining files, we encourage all students who are attempting to combine files to pay for their model after it is completed.
4. If a group of students come together to the desk and submit models that take up >75% of the bed, that set of models can be started immediately. 
5. Base cost for printing is divided by number of people, not by surface area, volume or numbers of objects.
6. Models will generally take one day to print, so generally, models can be picked up in the morning 24-36 hours after they are submitted if using an ASAP option or 24-36 hours after they are combined and submitted based on dates you provide. These general time estimates will not hold during times of large print volume when there is a backlog.
7. Students are responsible for post-processing the print and precision tweezers are available for sale at the Service Desk.
