3D Printers
Description of lab 3d printers. explain the filaments used, and diversity of printer characteristics. Also explain the types of printers with links to the styles of printers (cartesian, delta, corexy, etc). Explain that firmware and software and additional info can be found on each printers website.
- Current working 3D printers available

- Rostock Max V2 (www.seemecnc.com)
- Lulzbot Original (www.lulzbot.com)
- Custom MendelMax 1.0 (www.reprap.org)
- Current 3D printers needing repair
- (Status as of 3/15/2017)
- Modified Ultimaker Original (www.ultimaker.com)
Our custom MendelMax printer was made by our memeber Chorca, and features an 18"x18" print bed. This printer is much more complicated to print effectively on, and requires a more experienced user to run it. The Ultimaker Original requires additional work to get in a fully functional state.

Filament
List the types of filament that we use on our printers, the challenges strengths and weaknesses of each. List Filaments that have been used on the printers with success. Post links to processes involved in storing, cleaning, and purchasing filament.
Slicing
Simplify3D
Give in depth detail about the slicer and links for additional help on the slicing software Explain memebers who can help with slicing Details on built in slicers (deltamaker)
Octoprint
Some examples of the interface and what the program does. Explain how this runs on a Raspberry Pi and give links to the project page for other users to utilize on their machines.
DeltaMaker
Explain the type of printer, link to the website for more info on it. List filament types that work, sizes.
