Checklist for Successful File Submission
You must purchase a Digital Fabrication Subscription for the semester in order to 3D Print.
Raise3D
Files MUST:
- be in .idea format (grouping of all your parts scaled)
- if your .idea file contains more than one physically independent model, each must be their own .STL
- Models must show only green checkmarks
- be less than 11.8” x 11.8” x 23.8”
- be repaired in Netfabb
- You must provide a screenshot of step 8 (the import and auto-repair) for each file
- If you change your file in any way after you run the repair in Netfabb, you need to run it through again
- We will not print any files without an associated screenshot that shows your model has been repaired
- You must provide a screenshot of step 8 (the import and auto-repair) for each file
- have a minimum feature thickness of 1/8"
- We will not print any files containing feature thickness under 1/8"
- 1/8" is the minimum for simple and rectilinear geometries
- More complex geometries (such as curves) should be thicker to avoid printing issues
- Your print may break if complex features are 1/8"
Stratasys
Files MUST:
- be exported to .STL format, one model per file!
- be less than 14" x 10" x 14", scaled in inches
- be repaired in Netfabb
- You must provide a screenshot of step 8 (the import and auto-repair) for each file
- If you change your file in any way after you run the repair in Netfabb, you need to run it through again
- We will not print any files without an associated screenshot that shows your model has been repaired
- You must provide a screenshot of step 8 (the import and auto-repair) for each file
- have a minimum feature thickness of 1/16"
- We will not print any files containing feature thickness under 1/16"
- Even the 1/16" features are only made possible due to the use of soluble support material
- 1/16" is the minimum for simple and rectilinear geometries
- More complex geometries (such as curves) should be thicker to avoid printing issues
- Your print may break if complex features are 1/16"
- We will not print any files containing feature thickness under 1/16"
