3d Printing Workflow

On your computer

  1. Create your model using Tinkercad or OnShape.
    • We only print models someone else created with Dr. Taylor's permission.
  2. Export the model using STEP, 3MF, or STL format.
  3. Upload the model to https://link.rstem.net/up.

On the Laser Computer

Drop-down menu
  1. Download the model from where you stored it at https://link.rstem.net/up.
  2. Open the OrcaSlicer Application.
  3. Create a New Project.
  4. Drag the model file from the Downloads folder.
  5. Check for appropriate settings on the left. Especially, verify these settings are correct:
    • Supports-You need them if there are large overhangs.
    • Brim-A brim can help prints stay on the bed.
    • Infill-Use enough for the strength you need. That will likely never be more than 15%.
    • Printer type-Make sure it says P1S.
    • Filament type-You are most likely going to be using PETG.
  6. Slice the file (Top right)
  7. Export the sliced file to an SD card.

On the Printer

The file menu.
  1. Verify:
    • The printer has a clean build plate installed correctly.
    • The correct filament is on the back.
  2. Swap SD cards, putting the old one back in the yellow tray.
  3. Go to the folder icon on the left.
  4. Select your file, and hit print!
