Library Services Digital Studio, 3D printing
At the Student Life Building we have Ultimaker S5 and S3 3D printers. They are loaded with PLA, and can print PVA supports if needed, these dissolve in water.
When you’re ready to 3D print email your .stl file to DigitalStudio@ljmu.ac.uk.
We use the 3D application Cura to give us an estimated time and cost, which we confirm with you before starting the print.
The cost is currently 5p per gram, which is paid from your Virtual Purse when you collect your print.
We have a time limit of 12 hours for any one print job.
Please call into the Digital Studio, 1st floor Student Life Building, Monday to Friday, 9am to 7pm, to talk with one of the team or email us at DigitalStudio@ljmu.ac.uk.
