STARTING A PRINT
After you’ve selected which printer
to print to, you’ll be taken to the
CloudPrint’s slicer. Here you can
import .stl file(s), select a print mode,
and adjust any settings needed to print
the 3D models. When ready to send
your file(s), click “Queue” to add the
prepared files to your printer’s queue.
This will close the window and add the
model to the selected printer’s queue.
Once back in the Workspace Printers
page, click Start Next Print to begin
the print.
ENABLING STUDENT
FILE SUBMISSIONS
To allow students to submit their files
to your workspace, you can generate
a Print Submission Link from your
workspace by clicking on the top right
corner of the Workspace Print Jobs
tab to allow students or colleagues to
submit files to your queue - without
needing a MakerBot account.
A unique link will be generated for
your workspace. This link allows your
students and colleagues to submit
their .stl files to your workspace
without creating an account. Click
“copy” to copy onto your clipboard and
share via email, Google Classroom, or
your preferred method of sharing files.
