TSAS currently has two 3D printers: a Printrbot Play and a Prusa i3 clone Anet A8. Technical information on our PrintrBot Play is here, and info on the Anet A8 is here.

How to Build a Model and 3D Print in 5 Steps

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

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.

  3. Be sure to share your designs and creations in the Gallery!
