Fun 3D Prints

Too lazy to open SolidWorks? Check out these 3D Print sites!

These are some commonly used 3D model repositories! You can find all sorts of fun trinkets on these sites and print them out for free :)

Printables

Once you find a part that you want to print, download the .stl file for the part. Bring the .stl file to the AMS and we'll get it printed out for you!

*note: take note of the print settings listed for the print and make sure you let a mentor know if there's anything specific you need (ie no supports, % infill)

*another note: sometimes models on 3D print repositories are not modeled with 3D printing in mind and are prone to failure. Check with a mentor to make sure our printers can produce the model that you want!

Here is an example from Thingiverse:

Click "Download all files" to get the .stl file you need.

Take note of the print settings:

Something important to note here is that there are no supports required! Be sure to specify this when the print is being sliced otherwise you will have a very hard time removing those supports :/

Happy printing!
