Our Service Desk staff will use the following submission process for accepting plastic 3D print jobs:
...
When a model is received, the student can choose to:
a. Print ASAP, combine if possible
.When a model is received the student canb. Wait until the upcoming 5 pm to combine (Due to the possible savings, we encourage student to combine files)
- Student will 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- after finish printing.
- Base cost for printing and washing is divided by by number of people, not by surface area, volume or numbers of objects.
- 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).
