3D printers
The 3D printers are located in Low.
Prusa MK4
We have two MK4 printers.
How to print your model
Download and install the PrusaSlicer software -- the software translates your 3D model into machine readable instructions for the 3D printer.
Steps:
- Export your 3D model into STL file format (see how to create 3D model)
- Drag and drop your STL 3D model into the PrusaSlicer
- Select the MK4 on the PrusaSlicer settings
- Put you gcode file into the USB stick and plug the USB stick into the 3D printer
- After plugging the USB stick you should see your model on the Prusa screen
- If you don't see your model on the Prusa screen turn the knob on the screen panel to find your gcode
- Press the knob inwards (the knob is also a button) to print your model
Prusa MK4S
We have two MK4S printers.

- Drag and drop your STL 3D model into the PrusaSlicer
- Select the MK4S printer on the PrusaSlicer
- Put you gcode file into the USB stick and plug the USB stick into the 3D printer
- After plugging the USB stick you should see your model on the Prusa screen
- If you don't see your model on the Prusa screen turn the knob on the screen panel to find your gcode
- Press the knob inwards (the knob is also a button) to print your model
