Alternatively, you can download an STL file from an online 3D printing repository like [* [https://www.youmaginefreecad.comorg/|YouMagineFreeCAD]] or [https://www.thingiverse.com/ Thingiverse]. === GCode Production ===We recommend the use of PrusaSlicer (Slic3r) for the Creality CRis a constraint-10based, parametric CAD program.

== Webcam Access ==
There are three options to access the webcam to view 3D prints in progress.
* Static View: [http://216.252.200.71:65413/cgi-bin/CGIStream.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=Snap&pwd=123snap! Click Here] (This does not work on Hacksburg WiFi, refresh the page for an updated image.
* Basic Stream:
*# Open VLC and navigate to Tools>Preferences.
*# In the bottom left corner of the Preferences window under "Show Settings" click the "All" option.
*# In the search box, type "Image Demuxer" and select the "Image" option.
*# Change the "Duration in Seconds" option to 1.00 seconds and click save.
*# Turn on looping.
*# Select Media>"Open a Network Stream" and type <nowiki>http://216.252.200.71:65413//cgi-bin/CGIStream.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=Snap&pwd=123snap!</nowiki> into the Network URL box.
*# Click Play and the video should begin playing at ~1 FPS
*# '''Note:''' This method is a workaround if you do not wish to install the IPCWebComponents.exe required for full camera control. That method provides better video quality and the option to pan/tilt/zoom.
* Full Control: [http://216.252.200.71:65413 Click Here] Visit from Internet Explorer initially to download and install IPCWebComponents.exe. The interface can then be accessed from other browsers (does not appear to work in Firefox).

== Usage and Workflow ==
The general process for 3D printer printing is controlled via outlined below. Please see the desktop computer set up next to itindividual printer pages for full details. The basic workflow is this:
# Take a Convert 3D model and convert it to STL or download an STL filefrom online.# The * https://www.printables.com/#* https://www.thingiverse.com/#* etc# "Slice" the STL file then must be converted to generate GCode(or resin printer file).# The Prepare the printer#* Load filament#* Clean/level the bed#* Change nozzles if needed# Send the GCode is sent to the printer for printing.# Monitor the printer until the print is completed.
=== 3D Modeling/STL creation ===
We have three CAD programs installed currently recommend [https://www.solidworks.com/solution/3dexperience-solidworks-makers SOLIDWORKS for creating 3D modelsMakers] or [https://www.alibre. Two rely com/atom3d/ Alibre Atom3D] which are both available on the principle of laser-room computer. Autodesk [https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal Fusion 360] offers a free license for hobbyist use. [wp>Constructive solid geometry|Constructive Solid Geometry]https://www.onshape.com/ OnShape] offers a free online CAD editor (CSGnote: all free OnShape models are publicly shared).
Other options which are FOSS include:* [http://openscad.org/ OpenSCAD] is the more mature of the two programs. It uses a text-based scripting language to define a model using CSG, making it distinct from other CAD software. It is great for making parametric parts, where a user can easily modify critical dimensions.* [http://www.mattkeeter.com/projects/antimony/3/ Antimony] is a new programanother procedural modeling software, released in Spring 2015 as a visual approach which uses an interconnected graph of nodes to CSGdefine geometry (rather than plain text). While it is easier to use, its STL export It is considerably cruder (it uses a naive algorithm for creating models)no longer receiving updates.
* [http://solvespace.com/ SolveSpace] is a constraint-based, parametric CAD program. It has the advantage of having a more traditional CAD interface, but there is a bit of a learning curve; going through the tutorials on the program's website is highly recommended.
