It has been alot of work, and we appreciate your patience, but we are happy to announce that the upgraded fleet of 3D printers at the Technology Engagement Center (TEC) Studio are live and ready for the community to use! 

We are excited to see your printing projects, and looking forward to the community getting the chance to experience the upgrade. 

Whether you are a veteran printer at the Co-Lab or you are getting ready to print your very first Batman bust, we have written up a new pathways module on how to 3D print at the Co-Lab. 

How to 3D Print at the Co-Lab 

The module contains some tips, tricks, and important info on how to use the new Prusa CORE One printers, because BATMAN!

Over the next few weeks, we will be busy deploying the rest of the new printer fleet to the Wilson and Ruby Studio locations, and we are looking forward to hearing about your printing experiences as we work to streamline the 3D printing process for the Duke community.
