Overview

The Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro is a consumer-grade FDM (fused deposition modeling) 3D printer.

Fusion Deposition Modeling works by placing layers of melted material in a certain path over and over. Soon after the material is placed down, it hardens, allowing the next layer to be placed and stick on top. The path is determined by slicing an object and splitting it up into predetermined sized layers based on a setting in the editing software.

When using any Sandbox 3D Printer we recommend Cura software to slice your 3D objects in preparation for 3D printing. Our suggested workflow is for you to install Cura on your personal laptop and copy the sliced toolpath file to the Ender 3 S1 Pro using an SD card. The SD Card must stay in the printer so use one of our SD cards.

We have multiple Creality Ender 3 S1 Pro printers available. They operate on a first-come-first-served basis. This means that there is no queue to get in line for having your print started. The only way to ensure that you get your print done is to be at the printer when another print finishes. Our Makerspace culture is very congenial. We suggest you write a note and leave it near the printer you’d like to use.

Training

Before using a Creality printer, You must complete the training for the ultimaker S5 on the canvas course here

Trained Managers

The managers that have adopted this tool and can help you with using. Keep in mind these are not the only managers that know how to use this tool, feel free to ask any. Full list of adopted tools can be found here here.

Manager

Running a print

These are the very simple steps to be able to print on the Ultimaker after completing the training on elms.

  1. Having an idea for a print
  2. Create a 3D design of your idea using CAD software such as Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or even TinkerCAD.
  3. Using Cura to create a gcode file out of an STL or other applicable file (See Cura flow for more information)
  4. Make sure if you need support you used it!
  5. After saving the gcode to a USB, plug in USB into the Ultimaker
  6. Change out the material as needed
  7. Using the touchscreen menu on the Ultimaker go to Print and find your print
  8. Make sure you have enough material left in the current spool to finish your print
  9. Click on your print to start it
  10. Hang around the sandbox at least until the first layer is done to make sure your print doesn't fail (Most of prints fail within the first layer)
    • If your print fails then take it off and reprint it. If this continues to happen then ask a manager for help or try another print (Please don't waste materials failing the same print over and over)
  11. Come back whenever your print is done and find it in the Prototype Room and enjoy!

About Cura

  • Cura can be found for free on Ultimaker's website: Cura Download
  • More Cura Help
  • Cura allows 3D file formats: 3MF, OBJ, STL or 2D file formats: bmp, gif, jpg, png.
  • You can download Cura and prepare a print on you own computer and load it onto a flash drive for the Ultimaker
  • Possible ways of getting objects to print:
    • Finding and downloaded STL files from Thingiverse
    • Create your own CAD files using a program like Solidworks, Siemens NX, Autodesk, or anything that will create the accepted file formats.

Choosing a Material

While these printers can print a variety of materials, to simplify operations we ask you to use only PLA on our shared Ender 3 S1 Pro printers.

Different Nozzles

Changing the Nozzle

If you require a different nozzle size or type, please ask a manager for more information.
