Makerbot CloudPrint

As a member of the GVHS CAD workspaces, you will be able to:

Setup
Duplicate
Reassign
Queue

From your class's workspace, select the Workspace Printer and then select Print Preparation from the Top of the Screen.

Jobs allow you to view all of the Current Prints, Queued Prints, and Print History. This is a great place to find and duplicate jobs.

You can also use the drop-down menu to select a Printer once you have your file open. You can also set up your print job and upload it to the printer at a later time when it is powered on.

NOTE:

Jobs created for a Sketch will not work on a Sketch Large.
Switching printers will reset any settings you have changed.
**Sketch Large Printers Automatically Enable Supports**

Running a Print Preview before sending your job to print is always a good idea.

Tips:

Most filament rolls have a remaining material measurement tool on the side of the spool.
Compare the mass of the model to the amount of material left on the roll.
Weigh it with the scale if it appears close.
Queue jobs of 3hrs and run them overnight
Use the measure tool in your CAD model to check any angled overhangs of your parts.
If it is less than 60-55 degrees you may not need supports.

No Supports = Less Time and Material
