Software
For the design of 3D models, the following software can be used:
- Open scad - Openscad is a open source software for creating solid 3D Cad objects (available on Wndows, MacOS and Unix/Linux). Openscad is a scripting language
- Fusion 360 Fusion 360 is an integrated CAD/CAM/CAE software to design 3D models. For personal use it is free of charge (available on Windows, MacOS)
- Tinkercad Tinkercad is a free, easy-to-use app for 3D design, electronics, and coding.
For the printing of the models , the printer needs a .STL file. Any CAD software that is able to convert your design into a STL is suitable for designing for the 3D printers. Alternatives are Sketch, [ and Blender.
The printer needs a NGO file as input. A .STL file can be converted into a GCODE by:
- Cura Cura is used to slice the model and prepare the GCODE (file extension .NGO). To feed model the GCODE needs to be copied to a SD-card. The SD-card reader is on the front of the 3D printer
- Slic3r Slic3r is used to slice the model and prepare the GCODE. To feed model the GCODE (file extension .NGO) needs to be copied to a SD-card. The SD-card reader is on the front of the 3D printer
- PrintRun PrintRun allows direct control of the printer and offer more opportunities than Cura/Slic3r. The GCODE file is uploaded via the USB connection on th ebackside of the printer.
Ultimaker printers
The Makerspace has two 3D printers:
- Ultimaker 2 +
- Ultimaker 2 Extended +

Maintenance
See Maintenance Ultimaker 2+ for detailed descriptions on maintenance.
Recommended maintenance schedule
To keep your Ultimaker 2+ in optimal condition we recommend the following maintenance schedule, based on 1,500 printing hours per year:
Every month | Every three months | Every Year |
---|---|---|
Clean Printer | Check for plays on axels | Clean feeder and replace Bowden tube |
Lubricate axles | Check for tension of short belts | |
Lubricate lead screw Z moto | ||
Re-tighten hot end isolator |
Releasing clocked material from nozzle
Over time filament will block the nozzle. to clean the nozzle follow the following steps:
- Remove remaning filament
- Get a 30cm of Nylon filament and straighten it as much as possible
- Remove the blue horshoe clip underneath the white coupling
- Remove the filament tube out of the print head, while holding the white coupling
- Select in the main menu Advanced
- Select Heatup Nozzle
- Raise the nozzle temperature to 260 degrees
- Once on right temperature, insert the straightened piece of filament in the nozzle
- Set the temperature to 90 degrees and wait for the printer to reach this temperature
- Pull out the filament, be aware may require substantial force
- Repeat this process as often as required

Printing on the Ultimaker 2 + or Ultimaker 2 Extended +
To print a 3D model:
- Prepare the GCODE file and copy it to a SD card
- Enter the SD card into the SD card reader
- Prepare the print table for printing, apply
- glue (for PLA) or
- painters tape (for ABS)
- Switch on Ultimaker on the back side of the machine
- Change material:
- To change material or the enter material in to the printer, choose Material in the main menu
- Choose Change. The machine heats up and first will remove existing material
- Choose Ready once material is removed
- Feeding new Material
- Feed new material on the back side of the UltiMaker
- Choose Ready once the material is transported through the tube. The material will be transported to the nozzle.
- Wait till material flows through nozzle and confirm by selecting Ready
- Return to main menu by selection Return
- Print model
- Select Print
- Choose model you like to print. The printer heats up to the required temperature.
- Printing
- Once the nozzle and print table are at th erequired temperature, the printer will start.
- Printer releases small amount of filament through the nozzle
- The printer starts printing
- The display shows the expected time for the print
- Print ready
- Allow the printer table to cool down. Too early removal of the print may damage the print
- Remove the print from the print table
- Clean the printer table when required (remove glue / painter tape)
- Remove the Filament from the printer by executing step 3 of this procedure
- Once the filament is removed, switch off the print with the switch on the backside of the printer
- Store filament in the appropriate location
