3D Printing
We have many 3D printers. All of them are fused filament fabrication (FFF) printers.
Certifications
There is no certification to use these machines. However, our 3D Print 101 class is recommended for first time users.

Materials
Members are encouraged to bring their own filaments for printing and store them in their bins when done. Below and above the main 3D printing table are various spools of 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament donated by others which are free to use. Any members who leave their spools out, by default, allow other members to use them at will.
