<div> We are now allocating 'owners' to the Makerspace equipment, these owners will be responsible for ensuring there are appropriate processes in place for things like maintenance, safety and training etc. The 'owner' for the 3D printers is '''Keith Ellis''', if you are having trouble using the printers, want to report a fault, need some training please speak to Keith or alternatively email your request to [mailto:ms_3dprinters@icloud.com ms_3dprinters@icloud.com]<br />

<br />
<h2 style="clear:both;">Warning!</h2><br />
Please make sure you know what you are doing if you are using these printers, if you are unsure please ask for assistance. We would much prefer you ask the question rather than adjust something that has already been pre-set and calibrated.<br />
<br />
'''Warning''', 3D printers work by heating up and melting plastic filament, the print beds and hot-ends/nozzles get extremely hot. '''DO NOT TOUCH''' any hot parts, some of the printers are bare bones and to allow them to work the hot areas are not protected. If you are unsure ask someone to help.<br />
<br />
==Our Printers==<br />
<br />
We have several 3D printers available for use, for specific information on each one see the links below:<br />
<br />
# [[3D printer - Creality CR10 | Creality CR10]]<br />
# [[3D printer - Monoprice Mini Delta | Monoprice Mini Delta]]<br />
# [[3D printer - Creality Ender 3 | Creality Ender 3]]<br />
# [[3D printer - Velleman K8200 | Velleman K8200]] - currently not in service<br />
# [[3D printer - Turnigy Fabrikator|Turnigy Fabrikator]] - currently not in service<br />
# [[3D printer - da Vinci|da Vinci 1.0]] - currently not in service<br />
# [[3D printer - NFire Delta | NFire Delta]] - currently not in service<br />
<br />
==General usage information==<br />
<br />
Filament is expensive, so some best practices are suggested to minimise the opportunity for mishaps. Foremost, if you are printing multiple copies of an item, it's best to simply do one first to ensure it will print as you expect. Not much is worse than four almost perfect models, but all with the same unexpected defect or sizing error.<br />
<br />
When printing multiple items, remember that if one of them goes wrong, due to say bed adhesion issues, an extruder bump, filament feeding mishap, or other unexpected occurrence, that you will waste a lot of filament either by having to abort the job and losing the correct object(s), or having a huge pile of string building up where the printer believes it should be printing the missing object. So sometimes it's worth not batching, especially so for tall or delicate items.<br />
<br />
[[File:WeighAndPay.jpg||100px|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
===Charges===<br />
We do not charge for the use of the printers, but we do ask that you '''pay 5p for each gram of filament used'''. Scales are provided for weighing used material/prints. Thank you very much.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="clear:both;">Training Material</h2><br />
This is work in progress, but here we keep the latest training material for the [[Training - 3D printers | 3D printers]]<br />
<br />
==Octoprint==<br />
Octoprint is software that is specifically designed to control 3D printers. We currently have a Raspberry Pi hooked up to the K8200, Monoprice Mini Delta and CR-10 3D printers which run Octoprint.<br />
<br />
===Access===<br />
Web based interface, currently accessible whilst connected to the Ipswich Makerspace network via<br />
<br />
*http://192.168.1.28 for the Ender-3<br />
*http://192.168.1.27 for the CR-10<br />
*http://192.168.1.26 for the Mini Delta<br />
<br />
To login use the following details<br />
<br />
*Username: IpswichMakerspace<br />
*Password: raspberry<br />
<br />
===Features===<br />
*Web based interface, available from any web browser when connected to the Ipswich Makerspace network<br />
*Manual control of X, Y and Z motors as well as bed and hot end heaters and extrusion motor, this is useful for pre-heating the bed and priming the print nozzle.<br />
*Ability to upload gcode files and print<br />
*gcode visualiser to allow review the print layer by layer prior to printing<br />
*Basic stl viewer<br />
<br />
===Using Octoprint to print your models===<br />
<br />
===Slicing with Cura===<br />
<br />
Before you can print on any of the 3D printers you must first Slice your 3D model.<br />
<br />
Next to the 3D printers is a PC specifically for this task, it currently has 2 version of Cura installed version 3.6 and the new 4.1 version which has been modified for Creality printers for the time being please use version 3.6.<br />
<br />
To slice your model you must have the .stl file on a USB stick to load it onto the PC, please create yourself a folder for storing your files.<br />
<br />
Once you have the files on the PC, simple open Cura and once open click the folder icon to locate and load your .stl file.<br />
<br />
Next you need to select the printer you want to print on, next to the folder icon will be a printer name click this to select the printer you want.<br />
<br />
Now comes the fun part, selecting the setting you want to print with. There are a number of preset profiles available so if you are less experienced please select one of these or if you require some help with this part speak to Keith, Matt, Aron, Adam or James.<br />
<br />
Now just hit Slice in the bottom right corner, this will then set Cura doing it's thing and slice your model. You should now select Preview and the top middle of the screen to allow you to check for any errors in the sliced model.<br />
<br />
If everything looks ok and your happy to print you can save this sliced model as a .gcode file ready to send to the printer of your choice. Simply click the save to file button on the bottom right, and save it to your folder.<br />
<br />
===Printing with Octoprint===<br />
<br />
First you must power up the printer your going to use as well as the Raspberry Pi connected to it.<br />
<br />
Now that you have a .gcode file you can connect to the printer your going using via Google chrome, to access the printer double click the printers icon on the desktop this will open a browser window to the Octoprint web interface.<br />
<br />
On the left hand side of this screen you will see a file list on the Pi, as you did on the PC please create your own folder to store your .gcode files. Once you have done this scroll down click the upload button and select your freshly created .gcode file. This will now upload to Octoprint.<br />
<br />
Before clicking any more buttons, please visually check your chosen printer has a clean bed and is ready to print.<br />
<br />
I recommend pre-heating the bed and hot end of the printer as this saves time after clicking print. So on the temperature tab on Octoprint, click the box next to the hot end and input 180°C and hit enter, do the same for the bed and input 60°C. the printer will now heat up, so DO NOT TOUCH THE NOZZLE. Allow this to reach temperature before moving on.<br />
<br />
Now you can load the filament into the printer you are using, select it from those available and sit the spool on the spool holder of the printer. Take the loose end of the filament from the spool and insert it into the extruder, you will need to squeeze the extruder arm to allow the filament to pass through and continue to the hot end. Push the filament until is comes out of the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Once this is done you are ready to actually print, so click the file you uploaded and ensure this is shown on the top right of the Octoprint screen, if it is click print and watch with wounder as plastic forms your model in 3D.<br />

| [[Blacksmithing]] area<br />
| Setup stage (and back to some planning again)<br />
| Adam, Aron, Matt et al<br />
| Flooring is being prepared. Paperwork awaiting feedback so the remaining materials Adam needs to build the propane forge can be ordered. Hood pending for the charcoal forge, along with a bit of repair and welding. <br />

<h2 style="clear:both;">Warning!</h2><br />
Please make sure you know what you are doing if you are using these printers, if you are unsure please ask for assistance. We would much prefer you ask the question rather than adjust something that has already been pre-set and calibrated.<br />
<br />
'''Warning''', 3D printers work by heating up and melting plastic filament, the print beds and hot-ends/nozzles get extremely hot. '''DO NOT TOUCH''' any hot parts, some of the printers are bare bones and to allow them to work the hot areas are not protected. If you are unsure ask someone to help.<br />
<br />
==Our Printers==<br />
<br />
We have several 3D printers available for use, for specific information on each one see the links below:<br />

<br />
==General usage information==<br />
<br />
Filament is expensive, so some best practices are suggested to minimise the opportunity for mishaps. Foremost, if you are printing multiple copies of an item, it's best to simply do one first to ensure it will print as you expect. Not much is worse than four almost perfect models, but all with the same unexpected defect or sizing error.<br />
<br />
When printing multiple items, remember that if one of them goes wrong, due to say bed adhesion issues, an extruder bump, filament feeding mishap, or other unexpected occurrence, that you will waste a lot of filament either by having to abort the job and losing the correct object(s), or having a huge pile of string building up where the printer believes it should be printing the missing object. So sometimes it's worth not batching, especially so for tall or delicate items.<br />
<br />
[[File:WeighAndPay.jpg||100px|thumb|right]]<br />
<br />
===Charges===<br />
We do not charge for the use of the printers, but we do ask that you '''pay 5p for each gram of filament used'''. Scales are provided for weighing used material/prints. Thank you very much.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="clear:both;">Training Material</h2><br />
This is work in progress, but here we keep the latest training material for the [[Training - 3D printers | 3D printers]]<br />
<br />
==Octoprint==<br />
Octoprint is software that is specifically designed to control 3D printers. We currently have a Raspberry Pi hooked up to the K8200, Monoprice Mini Delta and CR-10 3D printers which run Octoprint.<br />
<br />
===Access===<br />
Web based interface, currently accessible whilst connected to the Ipswich Makerspace network via<br />

<br />
To login use the following details<br />
<br />
*Username: IpswichMakerspace<br />
*Password: raspberry<br />
<br />
===Features===<br />
*Web based interface, available from any web browser when connected to the Ipswich Makerspace network<br />
*Manual control of X, Y and Z motors as well as bed and hot end heaters and extrusion motor, this is useful for pre-heating the bed and priming the print nozzle.<br />
*Ability to upload gcode files and print<br />
*gcode visualiser to allow review the print layer by layer prior to printing<br />
*Basic stl viewer<br />
<br />
===Using Octoprint to print your models===<br />
<br />
===Slicing with Cura===<br />
<br />
Before you can print on any of the 3D printers you must first Slice your 3D model.<br />
<br />
Next to the 3D printers is a PC specifically for this task, it currently has 2 version of Cura installed version 3.6 and the new 4.1 version which has been modified for Creality printers for the time being please use version 3.6.<br />
<br />
To slice your model you must have the .stl file on a USB stick to load it onto the PC, please create yourself a folder for storing your files.<br />
<br />
Once you have the files on the PC, simple open Cura and once open click the folder icon to locate and load your .stl file.<br />
<br />
Next you need to select the printer you want to print on, next to the folder icon will be a printer name click this to select the printer you want.<br />
<br />
Now comes the fun part, selecting the setting you want to print with. There are a number of preset profiles available so if you are less experienced please select one of these or if you require some help with this part speak to Keith, Matt, Aron, Adam or James.<br />
<br />
Now just hit Slice in the bottom right corner, this will then set Cura doing it's thing and slice your model. You should now select Preview and the top middle of the screen to allow you to check for any errors in the sliced model.<br />
<br />
If everything looks ok and your happy to print you can save this sliced model as a .gcode file ready to send to the printer of your choice. Simply click the save to file button on the bottom right, and save it to your folder.<br />
<br />
===Printing with Octoprint===<br />
<br />
First you must power up the printer your going to use as well as the Raspberry Pi connected to it.<br />
<br />
Now that you have a .gcode file you can connect to the printer your going using via Google chrome, to access the printer double click the printers icon on the desktop this will open a browser window to the Octoprint web interface.<br />
<br />
On the left hand side of this screen you will see a file list on the Pi, as you did on the PC please create your own folder to store your .gcode files. Once you have done this scroll down click the upload button and select your freshly created .gcode file. This will now upload to Octoprint.<br />
<br />
Before clicking any more buttons, please visually check your chosen printer has a clean bed and is ready to print.<br />
<br />
I recommend pre-heating the bed and hot end of the printer as this saves time after clicking print. So on the temperature tab on Octoprint, click the box next to the hot end and input 180°C and hit enter, do the same for the bed and input 60°C. the printer will now heat up, so DO NOT TOUCH THE NOZZLE. Allow this to reach temperature before moving on.<br />
<br />
Now you can load the filament into the printer you are using, select it from those available and sit the spool on the spool holder of the printer. Take the loose end of the filament from the spool and insert it into the extruder, you will need to squeeze the extruder arm to allow the filament to pass through and continue to the hot end. Push the filament until is comes out of the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Once this is done you are ready to actually print, so click the file you uploaded and ensure this is shown on the top right of the Octoprint screen, if it is click print and watch with wounder as plastic forms your model in 3D.<br />

We do not charge for the use of the printers, but we do ask that you '''pay 5p for each gram of filament used'''. Scales are provided for weighing used material/prints. Thank you very much.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="clear:both;">Training Material</h2><br />
This is work in progress, but here we keep the latest training material for the [[Training - 3D printers | 3D printers]]<br />
<br />
==Octoprint==<br />
Octoprint is software that is specifically designed to control 3D printers. We currently have a Raspberry Pi hooked up to the K8200, Monoprice Mini Delta and CR-10 3D printers which run Octoprint.<br />
<br />
===Access===<br />
Web based interface, currently accessible whilst connected to the Ipswich Makerspace network via<br />
<br />
*http://192.168.1.20/ for the K8200<br />
*http://192.168.1.205 or 206/ for the CR-10<br />
*http://192.168.1.?/ for the Mini Delta<br />
<br />
To login use the following details<br />
<br />
*Username: IpswichMakerspace<br />
*Password: raspberry<br />
<br />
===Features===<br />
*Web based interface, available from any web browser when connected to the Ipswich Makerspace network<br />
*Manual control of X, Y and Z motors as well as bed and hot end heaters and extrusion motor, this is useful for pre-heating the bed and priming the print nozzle.<br />
*Ability to upload gcode files and print<br />
*gcode visualiser to allow review the print layer by layer prior to printing<br />
*Basic stl viewer<br />
<br />
===Using Octoprint to print your models===<br />
<br />
===Slicing with Cura===<br />
<br />
Before you can print on any of the 3D printers you must first Slice your 3D model.<br />
<br />
Next to the 3D printers is a PC specifically for this task, it currently has 2 version of Cura installed version 3.6 and the new 4.1 version which has been modified for Creality printers for the time being please use version 3.6.<br />
<br />
To slice your model you must have the .stl file on a USB stick to load it onto the PC, please create yourself a folder for storing your files.<br />
<br />
Once you have the files on the PC, simple open Cura and once open click the folder icon to locate and load your .stl file.<br />
<br />
Next you need to select the printer you want to print on, next to the folder icon will be a printer name click this to select the printer you want.<br />
<br />
Now comes the fun part, selecting the setting you want to print with. There are a number of preset profiles available so if you are less experienced please select one of these or if you require some help with this part speak to Keith, Matt, Aron, Adam or James.<br />
<br />
Now just hit Slice in the bottom right corner, this will then set Cura doing it's thing and slice your model. You should now select Preview and the top middle of the screen to allow you to check for any errors in the sliced model.<br />
<br />
If everything looks ok and your happy to print you can save this sliced model as a .gcode file ready to send to the printer of your choice. Simply click the save to file button on the bottom right, and save it to your folder.<br />
<br />
===Printing with Octoprint===<br />
<br />
First you must power up the printer your going to use as well as the Raspberry Pi connected to it.<br />
<br />
Now that you have a .gcode file you can connect to the printer your going using via Google chrome, to access the printer double click the printers icon on the desktop this will open a browser window to the Octoprint web interface.<br />
<br />
On the left hand side of this screen you will see a file list on the Pi, as you did on the PC please create your own folder to store your .gcode files. Once you have done this scroll down click the upload button and select your freshly created .gcode file. This will now upload to Octoprint.<br />
<br />
Before clicking any more buttons, please visually check your chosen printer has a clean bed and is ready to print.<br />
<br />
I recommend pre-heating the bed and hot end of the printer as this saves time after clicking print. So on the temperature tab on Octoprint, click the box next to the hot end and input 180°C and hit enter, do the same for the bed and input 60°C. the printer will now heat up, so DO NOT TOUCH THE NOZZLE. Allow this to reach temperature before moving on.<br />
<br />
Now you can load the filament into the printer you are using, select it from those available and sit the spool on the spool holder of the printer. Take the loose end of the filament from the spool and insert it into the extruder, you will need to squeeze the extruder arm to allow the filament to pass through and continue to the hot end. Push the filament until is comes out of the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Once this is done you are ready to actually print, so click the file you uploaded and ensure this is shown on the top right of the Octoprint screen, if it is click print and watch with wounder as plastic forms your model in 3D.<br />

<div>The Ipswich Makerspace has a number of planned projects, which are listed below.</div>Jfordhamhttps://home.ipswichmakerspace.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Room&diff=1374Main Room2019-06-17T13:56:31Z<p>Jfordham: /* Workbench */</p>
<hr />
<div>[[File:Main-room.png|340px|frameless|thumb|right]]<br />
The main hub of the Makerspace, this room houses the dust-free crafts, soldering, laser cutters, computers, and 3D printers.<br />
<h2>Work Tables</h2><br />
<br />
In theory the tables are meant to be kept as clear as possible, but that is a rule often skipped. Bear in mind anything left out may be moved, hacked at, or eaten, depending on who or what finds it first. The main table has power and Ethernet, so preference should be given to anyone needing that.<br />
<br />
The Craftwork area (by Palletron) currently has no Ethernet and relies on extension leads, but is usually quieter and often more productive to work at! The convention is that messy or smelly activities, eg spray painting or dust-free wood finishing, takes place here, away from the electronics. A lightweight spray booth is under construction, pending extraction integration, for now we have a few cardboard boxes and fakir's beds. Dusty craft is banished to the [[Workshop]].<br />
<br />
The Craft and Soldering bench tools are not interchangeable. They must be returned to the correct rack, and ideally in the right place! Some of the Craftwork tools are very specific in purpose, if you do not know what they are, ask before using them - some are more delicate than they appear. Beware of the cutters here, the blades are often changed and are genuinely razor sharp - in particular the scalpels are surgical in quality and you will probably not even feel a cut happening until it hits muscle tissue. Do not leave them lying around uncovered!<br />
<br />
==Workbench==<br />
[[File:Soldering-bench.jpg|500px|thumb|left|"It needs more LEDs"]]<br />
<br />
The soldering stations along the wall are equipped with all the essential equipment you'd expect for the activity, and usually anything else you might need is either on the tool rack at the end or in a box nearby. If you want to learn the fine art of soldering, [[Soldering_Tutorial|we have a decent tutorial]]. Towards the door the soldering stations metamorphose into [[Raspberry_Pi_work_stations|raspberry pi stations]], and several of the PCs are currently set up here.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="clear:both;">3D Printers</h2><br />
<br />
We have a range of 3D printers, but usually you will want to use the CR-10 or Mini Delta, as the others are in various combinations of 'quirky', 'vintage' and 'in bits'. For details on these and how to use them, there is a [[3D_printers|dedicated wiki page]].<br />
<br />
==Laser Cutters==<br />
<br />
The Lasers have their own page - [[Laser_Cutters|consult here]] for settings, options and tips, and of course add your own. In a nutshell, images provided to the Laser software in acceptable formats (usually vector) are etched or cut into a range of materials. They can be used for almost anything - signs, decorations, stencils, wooden models, papercraft, leatherwork, or even lacemaking!<br />
<br />
==Computers==<br />
<br />
All of the PCs are set up with commonly needed software, for graphics, modelling, 3d printing, and laser cutting. If you need to add more, use [https://chocolatey.org/packages Chocolatey] to install it if possible (Chocolatey itself is already installed) - think of it as Aptitude for Windows.<br />
<br />
There is a network shared folder which can be accessed via the top right shortcut on the Windows desktop (Linux shortcuts not yet added); this folder currently holds various ebooks and video lectures various, pertaining to analogue electronics, Arduinos and Raspberry Pi's, and some Python. Requests are taken for digital media; Adam has a huge library which can migrate upon demand.<br />
<br />
''Do not take peripherals, screens or leads from these PCs.'' A lot of time has been spent setting them up to work properly, and there are non-obvious hardware compatibility issues. Look in the Coder Dojo boxes if you're after spare kit, but put it back afterwards.<br />
<br />
From the left end of the soldering bench:<br />
<br />
'''''Front''''' is not yet set up, but will be primarily intended for Arduino and Pi development.<br />
<br />
'''''Back''''' follows. Standard setup, note that the monitor has no HDMI input.<br />
<br />
The next, AKA '''''Left''''', is set up dual boot with Windows 10 and Linux Mint - it is also set up to drive the vinyl cutter. In addition to the usual loadout, it also has '''Inventor 2020''' Alpha installed. This monitor takes HDMI ''only'', and has some 'interesting' overscan issues with currently unknown cause, hence the fuzzy resolution. Tinker to fix it if you wish but note any changes you make here.<br />
<br />
The final PC on the bench is '''''Centre'''''. This one is Windows 10 only, and currently has not been optimised for any particular usage. It could do with a good defrag, and a serious cleaning under the front panel. Again no HDMI, and this currently runs from VGA input, as digital has 'issues', again tinker at will ''but note changes''.<br />
<br />
The remaining PC, in the laser bay, aka '''''Right''''', is again Windows 10. Primarily Right is intended for laser cutting work and preference should be given to that usage.<br />
<br />
If all the computers are in use, there are laptops available, however they are somewhat old and not suitable for heavy-duty modelling work; for internet usage and coding they're fine though.<br />
<br />
It is worth noting that any computer on the network, including a device of your own, can access the lasers and 3d printers, so use of one of these is not essential, but bear in mind that Selene's laser software is Windows only. If you use one of these PCs for driving the lasers then it is usually best to prepare files beforehand as DXF or SVG, then just import them into RDWorks/Thunderlaser to cut. See [[Laser_Cutters|the Laser page]] for more information.<br />

<br />
We are now allocating 'owners' to the Makerspace equipment, these owners will be responsible for ensuring there are appropriate processes in place for things like maintenance, safety and training etc. The 'owner' for the 3D printers is '''Keith Ellis''', if you are having trouble using the printers, want to report a fault, need some training please speak to Keith or alternatively email your request to [mailto:ms_3dprinters@icloud.com ms_3dprinters@icloud.com]<br />
<br />
==Warning!==<br />
Please make sure you know what you are doing if you are using these printers, if you are unsure please ask for assistance. We would much prefer you ask the question rather than adjust something that has already been pre-set and calibrated.<br />
<br />
'''Warning''', 3D printers work by heating up and melting plastic filament, the print beds and hot-ends/nozzles get extremely hot. '''DO NOT TOUCH''' any hot parts, some of the printers are bare bones and to allow them to work the hot areas are not protected. If you are unsure ask someone to help.<br />
<br />
==Our Printers==<br />
<br />
We have several 3D printers available for use, for specific information on each one see the links below:<br />
<br />
# [[3D printer - Creality CR10 | Creality CR10]]<br />
# [[3D printer - Monoprice Mini Delta | Monoprice Mini Delta]]<br />
# [[3D printer - Velleman K8200 | Velleman K8200]]<br />
# [[3D printer - Turnigy Fabrikator|Turnigy Fabrikator]] - currently not in service<br />
# [[3D printer - da Vinci|da Vinci 1.0]] - currently not in service<br />
# [[3D printer - NFire Delta | NFire Delta]] - currently not in service<br />
<br />
==General usage information==<br />
<br />
Filament is expensive, so some best practices are suggested to minimise the opportunity for mishaps. Foremost, if you are printing multiple copies of an item, it's best to simply do one first to ensure it will print as you expect. Not much is worse than four almost perfect models, but all with the same unexpected defect or sizing error.<br />
<br />
When printing multiple items, remember that if one of them goes wrong, due to say bed adhesion issues, an extruder bump, filament feeding mishap, or other unexpected occurrence, that you will waste a lot of filament either by having to abort the job and losing the correct object(s), or having a huge pile of string building up where the printer believes it should be printing the missing object. So sometimes it's worth not batching, especially so for tall or delicate items.<br />
<br />
===Charges===<br />
We do not charge for the use of the printers, but we do ask that you '''pay 5p for each gram of filament used'''. Scales are provided for weighing used material/prints. Thank you very much.<br />
<br />
==Training Material==<br />
This is work in progress, but here we keep the latest training material for the [[Training - 3D printers | 3D printers]]<br />
<br />
==Octoprint==<br />
Octoprint is software that is specifically designed to control 3D printers. We currently have a Raspberry Pi hooked up to the K8200, Monoprice Mini Delta and CR-10 3D printers which run Octoprint.<br />
<br />

<br />
*http://192.168.1.20/ for the K8200<br />
*http://192.168.1.21/ for the CR-10<br />
*http://192.168.1.?/ for the Mini Delta<br />
<br />
To login use the following details<br />
<br />
*Username: IpswichMakerspace<br />
*Password: raspberry<br />
<br />
===Features===<br />
*Web based interface, available from any web browser when connected to the Ipswich Makerspace network<br />
*Manual control of X, Y and Z motors as well as bed and hot end heaters and extrusion motor, this is useful for pre-heating the bed and priming the print nozzle.<br />
*Ability to upload gcode files and print<br />
*gcode visualiser to allow review the print layer by layer prior to printing<br />
*Basic stl viewer<br />
<br />
===Using Octoprint to print your models===<br />
<br />
===Slicing with Cura===<br />
<br />
Before you can print on any of the 3D printers you must first Slice your 3D model.<br />
<br />
Next to the 3D printers is a PC specifically for this task, it currently has 2 version of Cura installed version 3.6 and the new 4.1 version which has been modified for Creality printers for the time being please use version 3.6.<br />
<br />
To slice your model you must have the .stl file on a USB stick to load it onto the PC, please create yourself a folder for storing your files.<br />
<br />
Once you have the files on the PC, simple open Cura and once open click the folder icon to locate and load your .stl file.<br />
<br />
Next you need to select the printer you want to print on, next to the folder icon will be a printer name click this to select the printer you want.<br />
<br />
Now comes the fun part, selecting the setting you want to print with. There are a number of preset profiles available so if you are less experienced please select one of these or if you require some help with this part speak to Keith, Matt, Aron, Adam or James.<br />
<br />
Now just hit Slice in the bottom right corner, this will then set Cura doing it's thing and slice your model. You should now select Preview and the top middle of the screen to allow you to check for any errors in the sliced model.<br />
<br />
If everything looks ok and your happy to print you can save this sliced model as a .gcode file ready to send to the printer of your choice. Simply click the save to file button on the bottom right, and save it to your folder.<br />
<br />
===Printing with Octoprint===<br />
<br />
First you must power up the printer your going to use as well as the Raspberry Pi connected to it.<br />
<br />
Now that you have a .gcode file you can connect to the printer your going using via Google chrome, to access the printer double click the printers icon on the desktop this will open a browser window to the Octoprint web interface.<br />
<br />
On the left hand side of this screen you will see a file list on the Pi, as you did on the PC please create your own folder to store your .gcode files. Once you have done this scroll down click the upload button and select your freshly created .gcode file. This will now upload to Octoprint.<br />
<br />
Before clicking any more buttons, please visually check your chosen printer has a clean bed and is ready to print.<br />
<br />
I recommend pre-heating the bed and hot end of the printer as this saves time after clicking print. So on the temperature tab on Octoprint, click the box next to the hot end and input 180°C and hit enter, do the same for the bed and input 60°C. the printer will now heat up, so DO NOT TOUCH THE NOZZLE. Allow this to reach temperature before moving on.<br />
<br />
Now you can load the filament into the printer you are using, select it from those available and sit the spool on the spool holder of the printer. Take the loose end of the filament from the spool and insert it into the extruder, you will need to squeeze the extruder arm to allow the filament to pass through and continue to the hot end. Push the filament until is comes out of the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Once this is done you are ready to actually print, so click the file you uploaded and ensure this is shown on the top right of the Octoprint screen, if it is click print and watch with wounder as plastic forms your model in 3D.<br />
<br />
==Booking time on the 3D printers==<br />
<br />
* Members have priority use of 3D printers, if you are not a member please ask before using<br />
* Membership allows you to book usage of the printers in advance<br />
<br />
===3D printer booking procedure===<br />

We are now allocating 'owners' to the Makerspace equipment, these owners will be responsible for ensuring there are appropriate processes in place for things like maintenance, safety and training etc. The 'owner' for the 3D printers is '''Keith Ellis''', if you are having trouble using the printers, want to report a fault, need some training please speak to Keith or alternatively email your request to [mailto:ms_3dprinters@icloud.com ms_3dprinters@icloud.com]<br />
<br />
==Warning!==<br />
Please make sure you know what you are doing if you are using these printers, if you are unsure please ask for assistance. We would much prefer you ask the question rather than adjust something that has already been pre-set and calibrated.<br />
<br />
'''Warning''', 3D printers work by heating up and melting plastic filament, the print beds and hot-ends/nozzles get extremely hot. '''DO NOT TOUCH''' any hot parts, some of the printers are bare bones and to allow them to work the hot areas are not protected. If you are unsure ask someone to help.<br />
<br />
==Our Printers==<br />
<br />
We have several 3D printers available for use, for specific information on each one see the links below:<br />

==General usage information==<br />
<br />
Filament is expensive, so some best practices are suggested to minimise the opportunity for mishaps. Foremost, if you are printing multiple copies of an item, it's best to simply do one first to ensure it will print as you expect. Not much is worse than four almost perfect models, but all with the same unexpected defect or sizing error.<br />
<br />
When printing multiple items, remember that if one of them goes wrong, due to say bed adhesion issues, an extruder bump, filament feeding mishap, or other unexpected occurrence, that you will waste a lot of filament either by having to abort the job and losing the correct object(s), or having a huge pile of string building up where the printer believes it should be printing the missing object. So sometimes it's worth not batching, especially so for tall or delicate items.<br />
<br />
===Charges===<br />
We do not charge for the use of the printers, but we do ask that you '''pay 5p for each gram of filament used'''. Scales are provided for weighing used material/prints. Thank you very much.<br />
<br />
==Training Material==<br />
This is work in progress, but here we keep the latest training material for the [[Training - 3D printers | 3D printers]]<br />

<br />
===Using Octoprint to print your models===<br />
<br />
===Slicing with Cura===<br />
<br />
Before you can print on any of the 3D printers you must first Slice your 3D model.<br />
<br />
Next to the 3D printers is a PC specifically for this task, it currently has 2 version of Cura installed version 3.6 and the new 4.1 version which has been modified for Creality printers for the time being please use version 3.6.<br />
<br />
To slice your model you must have the .stl file on a USB stick to load it onto the PC, please create yourself a folder for storing your files.<br />
<br />
Once you have the files on the PC, simple open Cura and once open click the folder icon to locate and load your .stl file.<br />
<br />
Next you need to select the printer you want to print on, next to the folder icon will be a printer name click this to select the printer you want.<br />
<br />
Now comes the fun part, selecting the setting you want to print with. There are a number of preset profiles available so if you are less experienced please select one of these or if you require some help with this part speak to Keith, Matt, Aron, Adam or James.<br />
<br />
Now just hit Slice in the bottom right corner, this will then set Cura doing it's thing and slice your model. You should now select Preview and the top middle of the screen to allow you to check for any errors in the sliced model.<br />
<br />
If everything looks ok and your happy to print you can save this sliced model as a .gcode file ready to send to the printer of your choice. Simply click the save to file button on the bottom right, and save it to your folder.<br />
<br />
===Printing with Octoprint===<br />
<br />
First you must power up the printer your going to use as well as the Raspberry Pi connected to it.<br />
<br />
Now that you have a .gcode file you can connect to the printer your going using via Google chrome, to access the printer double click the printers icon on the desktop this will open a browser window to the Octoprint web interface.<br />
<br />
On the left hand side of this screen you will see a file list on the Pi, as you did on the PC please create your own folder to store your .gcode files. Once you have done this scroll down click the upload button and select your freshly created .gcode file. This will now upload to Octoprint.<br />
<br />
Before clicking any more buttons, please visually check your chosen printer has a clean bed and is ready to print.<br />
<br />
I recommend pre-heating the bed and hot end of the printer as this saves time after clicking print. So on the temperature tab on Octoprint, click the box next to the hot end and input 180°C and hit enter, do the same for the bed and input 60°C. the printer will now heat up, so DO NOT TOUCH THE NOZZLE. Allow this to reach temperature before moving on.<br />
<br />
Now you can load the filament into the printer you are using, select it from those available and sit the spool on the spool holder of the printer. Take the loose end of the filament from the spool and insert it into the extruder, you will need to squeeze the extruder arm to allow the filament to pass through and continue to the hot end. Push the filament until is comes out of the nozzle.<br />
<br />
Once this is done you are ready to actually print, so click the file you uploaded and ensure this is shown on the top right of the Octoprint screen, if it is click print and watch with wounder as plastic forms your model in 3D.<br />
<br />
