The New Media Center facilitates access to two CREALITY Ender-5 S1 3D printers for students, faculty, and staff. Use of the 3D printer costs 20 cents per gram of print weight as measured after print. Use of the 3D printer can be requested ahead of time or can be done on a walk-in basis if there is an opening for use. Reservations can be made by clicking this link here: Reserve time on a 3D printer. Please note that although the 3D printer is available for both academic and non-academic projects, academic uses will be prioritized over non-academic uses. Please note that we cannot print .STL files that are subject to copyright protection.
