The Mamba3D 3D-Printer is an open source 3D-printer available for usage by any visitor of the PFLab.

Technology and examples

Technology

The printer uses the FDM technology in which the printer lays down strings of plastic (PLA) in a predefined pattern, layer by layer, forming a physical 3D-object.

How to print a SketchUp Model

Learn how to 3D-print a model made in SketchUp

Open Sketchup
Make something
File -> Export STL
Open Repetier
File -> Load -> Select your STL file
Select tab "Slice"
Click the huge "Slice" button
Make sure you connect the Mamba3D-printer properly
Click "Connect to 3D Printer"
Click "Start print"

The 3D model will now be printed.
