A couple notes from the lab. We will be closed this Saturday the 15th.
The sticker printer is partially down, unable to do kiss cuts for stickers. We are able to do banners and anything that is hand cut off the printer. We will keep updating as we move towards fixing this issue. Thank you!

The lab is hosting STEM Camp this week. Quick note for members - students will have priority on all equipment till about 4:00pm.

For member stopping in inquiring about 3D printing, here is a nice explanation of files you can bring in to print.
New to 3D printing? I like to work with the .STL file. Learning slicing (setting 3-axis gcode paths) and other settings that determine how an object is printed is half the fun 🙂
