Important Notes

  • This is only for reserving one slot a week for overnight 3D printing in The Workshop.  If you wish to make a regular (daytime) reservation, please see our main reservations page.
  • If you have questions, please reach out to The Workshop at theworkshop@vcu.edu or at (804) 827-3594.

  • You can only sign up for one overnight slot per week. If you need to request more than one night, email theworkshop@vcu.edu with
    • the sliced Prusa Project File (.3MF) for both of your overnight prints
    • the email of the professor overseeing the project
    • the date and printer you chose for your second overnight time slot
    • You may only reserve the second overnight slot once your request has been approved.
       
  • Prints may only be done using PLA filament. If you want to use a non-PLA filament, email theworkshop@vcu.edu with:
    • the reason you need a non-PLA filament for academic or research purposes.
    • the sliced Prusa Project File (.3MF)
    • the available overnight time slot that you wish to reserve
    • You may only reserve the slot once your request has been approved.
    • On the day of the print, retrieve the requested non-PLA filament from a Workshop employee
    • You must be available at opening the next day to remove the filament and return it to the makerspace desk so that other users don’t accidentally print with non-PLA filament.
       
  • Only the person who reserved the time slot will be able to check out the printer.
  • If you are 15 minutes or more late you risk losing your reservation.
  • If you are waiting for a no-show to take their printer time slot, you still have only one overnight slot a week unless otherwise approved
  • Remember that you must have attended a Prusa MK4 orientation before you can reserve it
