The Tech Chair manages and maintains the 3D Printer in the McCormick Craft Studio. Residents may not use the McCormick Craft Studio 3D Printer without training from the Tech Chair first.

For 3D Printer Users
Make sure you make an event on the Google Calendar before printing! Events should be made at least two days before. Event names should be your name and the event time should be how long the print takes plus 15 min.
Make sure to fill out the Login/Logout Form every time you start and take out a print!
Look at the checklist every time you print!
