3D Printing at Spark is supported by the Electronics Leads and Autodrop3D's Cloud design/print platform and offers printer access to members.

I have a design in mind, where do I start?

To 3D print your idea, you'll need a 3D model in the STL format (or created through Autodrop3D's cloud CAD platform. Not sure where to start? Stop by and chat with the 3D printing nerds at Electronics Night.

I have an STL file already. how do I print?

  • Head to go.autodrop3d.com and create an account.
  • Send an email to the Electronics Leads with the username and email address you used to register.
  • We'll add you to the Spark Members organization and let you know once you're set (usually within a couple of hours).
  • Take note of the Autodrop3D Printing Guidelines here.
  • Upload an STL to the Autodrop site, create an order, and watch for the email when it's done.
  • If you have any issues getting started, pop in on Electronics Night and ask, or reach out to the Electronics Leads.
