How to unlock an open-access 3D printer?

Hi!

Congratulations, you've completed all the necessary trainings and are now ready to 3D print.

1. Go to https://make.epfl.ch/3dprint, then “3D Printers overview”.
2. After logging in, you can select your favorite printer (or just the one available)

1. Indicate for which project you'd like to use this marvel*.
2. Click on print!
3. The printer is now unlocked. You have 10 minutes to get to the SPOT and start printing! Go for it!

Don't forget to check that the printer has enough filament and that the nozzle is clean. Insert your SD card or USB key. Select your file and off you go!

*Please, never lie on your project! If your project or course does not appear on the list, please update your projects at https://make.epfl.ch/training.

In the meantime, you can still print by selecting “Use personal budget” and using the option of your choice:

- Personal project (don't forget that personal projects have to be validated by the coach under these conditions: Conditions for using 3D printers for personal projects)

- EPFL class: use this tool to search for the official EPFL course name

- Other: enter your project's details

Remember: If your course or project is not official at SPOT, you will have to pay for your prints, either when you reached 4 Francs of filament or at the end of the semester at the latest. Otherwise, your access will be suspended.

Now you can pay for your prints online! here: https://make.epfl.ch/3dprint/pbpay

There you will see the amount you owe and you can pay it directly from your Camipro balance!

Please let us know if you encounter any bugs or difficulties.

Note: In case you don't see any printer in the system (see image bellow), you should purge your browser cache. If the problem persists, report the bug by sending an E-mail to Sébastien.
