Drop your model here

STL, OBJ or 3MF, from Tinkercad, Onshape, Fusion 360, Blender or Thingiverse.

How to print

  1. Open your model. Export an STL, then drop it on the bed. Tinkercad: Export → .STL. Onshape: right-click the part → Export → STL. Fusion 360: File → Export → STL. Blender: File → Export → STL.
  2. Set it on the bed. Drag it to move it. Use Rotate → Lay flat so a flat side is down. Red parts hang in the air and need supports.
  3. Pick your settings. The class settings work for most prints. Change them only if you know why.
  4. Slice, then save to the SD card. Slicing works when your teacher opens it: type the class phrase from the board the first time. Pick the class SD card in the save window, eject it, then carry it to the printer.
  5. Print. Pick your file on the printer screen. Your teacher starts every print.

This site limits settings to reduce mistakes. It is not a safety system: your teacher checks every file and watches every print.

Your model stays on this Chromebook until you press Slice. Then it is sliced in a temporary folder and deleted, never saved on the server. Your plate is kept in this browser, so it comes back if the tab reloads. Privacy & legal

Class phrase

Your teacher put a phrase on the board. Type it to slice. You only need to do this once.

Is the printer idle?

Copying restarts the printer. If it is printing right now, the print will stop. Is the printer idle?
