Click here to send a 3D print job to SILab<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Please upload your STL to google drive and update the share settings so everyone with a bu.edu email can open the link; this lets the SILab Advisors access your files to be able to print them. We will email you when your print is ready to be picked up.<\/p>\n

3D printers are only available to students who have been safety trained at SILab. We may need to limit the use of equipment during periods of high demand. If you plan many, long jobs, please discuss it with the SILab Manager first.<\/p>\n
