At the Eugene Makerspace, there are several 3d printers. With 'Luck' (continuous community effort) some of them even work!

3D Printer Use, Policies, And Etiquette

3D printers are typically easy to use, reliable machines. These policies aim to keep them that way.

Octoprint

WORK IN PROGRESS Octoprint is a 3d printer management tool. It installs on a computer to allow users to login and manage the print, checking on it remotely with a webcam.

Slicer Profiles

WORK IN PROGRESS We intend to have vetted slicer profiles for each printer/material combination. This is to ensure reliable operation.

Printer Qualification (for humans and machines)

To use the 3d printers, a quick orientation by another member is required. If using a new filament spool, slicer profile, or otherwise testing a new process, monitor the print regularly.

3D Printers

Raise3d E2

This is an enclosed, dual extruder, FDM printer with a build area of 330x240x240mm and a max temperature of 300C on the nozzle.
Donated by epicycloid.

Special notes

This printer has an internal HEPA filter, so it might not need to be attached to the ventilation system. To be evaluated as of 12-17-25
Dual extruders can either be used to print two objects at once for faster production, or to do dual material prints.
It should be able to print the more garden variety 'engineering' filaments, such as glass fiber stabilized nylon. To be evaluated as of 12-17-25
