Free 3D print file checker

Hi All,

The 3D print file checker we have been using for the last couple of years has been changed restricting the free usage and therefore is of little use to us at the costs involved!

At the recommendation of one of our 6th year students we have ran some tests using another provider which is available for free at www.makeprintable.com where you can sign up to upload your files for checking and conversion to .STL format if necessary.

Please consult our basic set up guidelines here when preparing your files.

See you soon, Scott & Jim

A Guide to 3D Printing at B.15

Powder Printing (11)

For anyone wanting to use 3D printing in their projects please take some time to have a read through this guide to the process.

Click here for the full PDF guide to 3D Printing at the B.15 Modelmaking Workshop

The guide outlines the three types of printing we provide and explains the good application and limitations of each variant.

The best examples are well considered and appropriate components within the context of a project rather than being the entire body of a project.
