3D Printers

  • Make sure that the settings you entered in CURA (Filament type, Core types, etc.) match what we have on the Ultimaker Printers.
    • The printers usually run on 0.4 AA cores (both of them) with Generic PLA filament type.
  • If the printer gives you an error code, look it up online first.
    • If you can't find the reason, ask the Makerspace Manager for help.
  • If the printers stop working and you cant figure out why, nor can anyone assist you, turn them off and notify the Makerspace Manager.
    • Describe the issue in detail, as much as you can, to assist with further troubleshooting.
