TSAS currently has two 3D printers: a Printrbot Play and a Prusa i3 port Anet A8, called The Extruder by its builders. Technical information on our PrintrBot Play is here, and info on the Anet A8 is here.

3D Print Training Series

  1. Install Sketchup and extensions
  2. Build the 3D Printing Badge
  3. Slice the badge
  4. Print it!
  5. Watch it print!

Further Printing

  1. Find a model, or make one. We can currently print up to 4" x 4" x 5" models on the PrintrBot. The Extruder prints up to 8" x 8" x 8" when fully operational.
  2. Be sure to share your designs and creations in the Gallery!
