Printer enclosures with HEPA filters
For the safety of our members, HEPA air filtration is available in the enclosures, especially needed for use with high temperature filaments like ABS, ASA, and PETG.
Wide range of filaments supported
Our Prusa printers support filament types PLA, PETG, ASA, PC, PVB, ABS, HIPS, PP, FLEX(TPU), PA, CF and user-defined custom types, usually on 1gm rolls or less of 1.75mm diameter filament.
Online print scheduling
Scheduling the printer is required for all prints to prevent usage conflicts. The purpose is to communicate the reserved time to other members who also might be interested in using the printer. It especially helps those traveling to the shop to be assured that the printer will be available when they arrive.
Printers must be scheduled/reserved for the entire time the printer is set up for a future remote print (see "Online print control and monitoring" below) with a clean plate and the member's filament loaded.
The web based TeamUp app is used and is accessible from any device. Members receive an ID and password for access to the teamup app.
Online print control and monitoring
Octoprint from octoprint.org is the software used to remotely submit, control, and monitor 3D print on our printers.
