Creative Studio has Ultimaker printers with PLA filament. The 3D printing service is open to all current students and employees of the University of Miami.
Printing Instructions
Schedule a consultation time to review your project with us and for a turn-around estimate. At this time we will give you a price and time estimate.
- Cost is $2.00/HR. Printing size and resolution will affect the amount of time an object takes to print.
Please allow 2 weeks for turn-around time. Best price and turn-around time estimates will be given at time of print request.
ERRORS/MISPRINTS
- If error/misprint on first run we will try to print again. If print fails a second time, we will contact patrons and recommend changes to the file be made.
- We will only attempt a print twice, and a third time if the patron makes file modifications. After that, at patron request for continued printing attempts, we will charge for printing even if print fails.
- Patrons only get charged for prints they pick-up.
