Intro to 3D Modeling

In this workshop we will be introducing some methods you can use to create your own unique model that can be used for 3D Printing.

3D Print Desk

Stop by the 3D Print Desk with an .STL or .OBJ file and we can get it printed for you!

Notes

  • Once your model is finished you can Export your model to either an .STL file or an .OBJ file. 
  • You can then email the file to gcsu.sta@gmail.com and our STAs will be glad to get that printing for you or you can stop by the 3D Print Desk with your file saved to a flash drive!
  • Makerbot Max Build Volume:
    25.2 L x 19.9 W x 15.0 H cm [9.9 L x 7.8 W x 5.9 H in]

3D Printing FAQs

  • It's $.10 cents per gram to print. So many of the examples as the 3D Print Desk are around $2-4 but it is dependent on size and density of your print.

  • Smaller prints may take several hours; complex jobs may take a few days. We will attempt to complete your job within 7 days; the average time for a simple print is 1 or 2 days. The print will be attempted twice before it is declared a fail. At this time, there will be no charge for failed attempts. In both instances, we will make contact by the email given.

  • Complete the 3D Printing Request Form at the 3D Print Desk. If you have any special instructions (such as color, infill, size), please notify our Student Technology Assistants (STA’s). Price estimate will be given at the time the order is placed. For each object you want printed, please submit a separate form and .stl or .obj file.
