Cancel membership

2026-04-02T13:19:04Z

Paul Shackelford:

Sorry to hear that you're leaving MakeICT! This page is here to tell you how to cancel your membership.

If there is a monetary concern driving this cancellation, feel free to apply for a scholarship by reaching out to directors@makeict.org (or even just president@makeict.org if the whole group feels like too much).

==How to stop payments==
Members can stop paying dues at any time, and lapsed dues will terminate your membership.

If you were paying by cash/check, all you need to do is not make a payment for the next month and your membership will end.

If you were paying electronically through PayPal, there are a couple of steps we recommend you complete:

* First, log in to your MakeICT account at [https://makeict.wildapricot.org/Sys/Profile makeict.wildapricot.org] and click on the "Stop recurring payments" button. This should cancel your autopay subscription.
* Second, please check in your PayPal account to make sure there isn't still an active subscription on that end. For instructions on how to do this, please visit: [https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/what-is-an-automatic-payment-and-how-do-i-update-or-cancel-one-help240 https://www.paypal.com/cs/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-cancel-a-subscription-faq577]

We do not require you to turn in your key badge; it will be de-activated automatically. Keep it safe and it can be re-activated if you join again in the future.

MakeICT does not refund dues for unused membership time.

==Let us know==
While it's not required, we would really appreciate it if you'd send us an email at membership@makeict.org to tell us why you cancelled your membership, or if you have any questions about cancelling or re-activating an account.

If you prefer to tell us anonymously, please fill out our
[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1-4xg6WF3Eqz9K7WllfnET7qdwRCCkw5cvnnTu2o1c11t7g/viewform?usp=sf_link lapsed member survey].

===Tips, Tricks, and Differences from the Prusas===

*This is a Core XY printer, like the Ultimaker. The bed moves in the z-axis only.
*You must use [https://www.snapmaker.com/snapmaker-orca Snapmaker Orca] to use these printers successfully.

There is a WiFi interface. Similar to Octoprint, but different. To "send to printer" in OrcaSlicer, configure it to these IP addresses (subject to change):
* Snapmaker #1 http://192.168.20.131/
* Snapmaker #2 http://192.168.20.217/

If you have connection errors, the IP address has likely changed. Navigate to settings on the printer, look for LAN and that's where the current IP address can be retrieved.

* When feeding in filament, it may not load all the way to nozzle; you will need to be in loading mode and select that printhead for loading. Usually one more past the auto-feed does it, sometimes two... just make sure it's extruded out the filament.
* If you have the loaded colors selected to be identical on two spools, the printer may source from either spool, especially if you didn't feed one all the way to the nozzle (see last point).

===I have Errors!===
* #1 seems to have an issue with the fourth spool "wheel speed anomaly" - as long as it is not binding up, you should be okay to keep trying to load on that spool.
* Occasionally you'll have errors swapping the heads; follow the directions or watch it patiently. Sometimes those sort themselves out in a couple more changes.

3D Printing

2026-02-10T02:59:47Z

Paul Shackelford:

[[Category:FabLab Equipment]]
==About==
3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that allows for the creation of real-world, tangible objects from 3D virtual models. MakeICT maintains the following 3D printers:

'''Filament Printers'''

*[[Prusa i3 MK4]]
*[[Prusa i3 MK3|Prusa i3 MK3S+]] (x4)
*[[Ultimaker 2]] - currently not functional
*[[Snapmaker U1]] (x2)

The current print status for the Prusa printers can be viewed here: http://3dprintmonitor.makeict.org/

'''Resin Printers'''

* More detail to come

==Machine Access Policy==
Use of any 3D printer at MakeICT requires authorization from an approved peer-authorizer or attendance in a 3D printer workshop that includes authorization. Filament and resin printers must be authorized separately.

*Any member who has been authorized to use the 3D printers may peer-authorize other members on that type of printer
*Authorization instruction must at least include:
**Fundamental knowledge of each printer's working principles
**Proper use and control of each printer
**Software workflow
**How to change material (filament or resin)
**How to pay for material

==Material Fund==
Printing with filament or resin provided by MakeICT costs $0.04 per gram. After printing, please weigh your print using the provided scale and put the appropriate amount of money in the filament fund jar. If you have any requests for new colors/types of filaments or resin, you can post them in the Fab Lab category on [https://talk.makeict.org our forum], or send an email to [mailto:fablab@makeict.org fablab@makeict.org].

==Filament Workflow==
===Prusa 3D Printers and Filament Types===
Review this guide for best practices when using different filament types with MakeICT's Prusa printers: [[MakeICT Prusa 3D Printers and Filament Types]]
===Slicing===
Slicing is the process of converting an STL file to the G-Code required to run the printer.

We use PrusaSlicer to generate the G-Code for our printers. The design computer in the Fab Lab has the appropriate profiles installed, as well as all MakeICT laptops. These profiles are also available on the [[Slicer Profiles]] page on this Wiki if you want to install them on your own computer.

To generate the G-Code for a 3D printer, first select the appropriate printer in the 'Printer' dropdown in the upper right-hand side of Plater window. Then select the preset for the material you wish to use. To load your file click the 'Add' button on the left-hand side of the toolbar at the top of the 3D Editor view. You can also go to 'File' > 'Import' > 'Import STL/OBJ/AMF/3MF' or use the hotkey 'Ctrl + i'. PrusaSlicer should automatically slice the file in the background, and progress will be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the window.

Before you send you G-Code, always check the preview by clicking the second icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. Once you've confirmed that everything looks good, hit the 'Send G-code' button near the bottom right 3D Editor view.

G-Code generated for one machine '''WILL NOT''' work properly on the others, so if you manually save the G-code, be sure that you only use it on the printer that it was originally sliced for. This info can be found in the G-code file if you forget.

===Printing===
Each printer can be run using Octoprint. More thorough instructions on this interface can be found on the [[Octoprint]] page. The username and password are 'maker'.

The printers can be reached at the following addresses while connected to the network at MakeICT:

*Prusa 1 (Prusa i3 MK3S+) [http://prusa1.makeict.org prusa1.makeict.org]
*Prusa 2 (Prusa i3 MK3S+) [http://prusa2.makeict.org prusa2.makeict.org]
*Prusa 3 (Prusa i3 MK3S+) [http://prusa3.makeict.org prusa3.makeict.org]
*Prusa 4 (Prusa i3 MK3S+) [http://prusa4.makeict.org prusa4.makeict.org]
*Prusa 5 (Prusa i3 MK4) [http://prusa5.makeict.org prusa5.makeict.org]
*Ultimaker 2 [http://ultimaker.makeict.org ultimaker.makeict.org]

To run a print: select your file and click the print button.

===Changing Filament===
The process for changing filament varies slightly between the Prusas and the rest of the printers, but all of them use the filament change menus on the LCD control panel. Wiki Page for the specific printer may have more details on the filament change process if needed.

===General Use Tips===

*'''Always''' watch the first layer of a print to make sure that it sticks to the bed properly.
**If the first layer does not adhere properly the print will fail and make a big mess, potentially damaging the machine.

*Check material before starting a print. Make sure it is the correct type, and that there is enough to complete the print.

*When your print is finished, do not immediately turn off the power; wait until the nozzle has cooled. All of our printers have actively-cooled heatsinks on their hotends, and if power is cut before the nozzle is cool the filament can melt higher up than intended and cause a jam.

*Be careful when removing prints. The glass beds are fairly durable, but can be cracked with excessive force. '''No hammers, mallets, or other bludgeoning devices are to be used for print removal!'''

*G-Code files generated for one printer should never be used on another. Re-run the slicer with the appropriate profiles for the machine that is being used

*Abrasive materials (carbon, metal, glow-in-the-dark, etc.) require hardened nozzles to print. '''DO NOT''' print any abrasives with the regular brass nozzles!
*'''NEVER''' use metal scrapers to remove prints from the Prusa printers. You will damage the print surface. Remove the spring steel sheet and bend it to detach printed objects from the surface.
