Ultimaker Job Submission

Ultimaker Job Submission

This page is used to show you how to use the job submission form for the Ultimaker 3D printer. Due to COVID, we are having to limit the amount of people in the makerspace at one time. For most machines, you have to be present to use the machine, however, the 3D printer can be submitted online and started by one of the managers in the space.

You can find the form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdcgJJLBCYQulCYpyb5rhmhX4jy6RxEJj_oXetzfdyqzuElbg/viewform.

In this form, you will be inputting identifying information about you and your project. You must provide your name, email address, and UID, so we can identify you as a UMD affiliate and contact you in case anything goes wrong. Then you will provide information about your print so we can process it for you. You will have to provide a name for your print, the material type, the color, the weight in grams, the job time in hours, a link to where you found the 3D model (if applicable), and a google drive to the sliced file (after run through Cura or similar program).

Section by Section Help

This section will go over each question in case there is any confusion and to tell you why we need it.

Email Address

Please provide us an email that we can use to contact you in case we need to contact you. We might contact you in case of:

• Finished print waiting
• Print failed
• Print in waiting queue being started
• Print aborted because of multiple failures
• Changes made (like orientation/rotation)

Please respond quickly as late responses will make the entire queue slow down and could push back yours from being printed or be removed from the queue.

First and Last Name

We need this to identify the person who's print it is. Last name is required so we don't mix up people with the same first name.

UID

This is important for identifying that the person submitting a print is actually a UMD affiliate.

Name of Print

This is how we will mainly identify your print. When picking up your print, have the name ready for us to identify which is yours.

Material Type

We need this to be able to properly set up the printer with the material. Incorrectly telling us the type of material desired will cause differences in the end product. This could also cause problems with the print as some prints require certain material.

Material Color

We will do our best to match your desired material, but our supplies are limited, please give us a few options that you want. If we do not have any, we will likely email you asking what color your would want out of our supply. If there are any colors you do not want, or if you ONLY want your print in a certain color, write that here.

Forewarning

If you enter incorrect information or are unresponsive for questions, we reserve the right to delay or cancel your print. Leaving your print in the space for too long after the print has finished might result in you losing your print. We will likely email you once your print is done and you should pick it up within a week or two.
