Things to Remember

3D printing costs a lot more than a normal print. Please check with your teacher before starting a print.
Your print MUST be inside the printable area for it to be able to print, before exporting from 3D design software make sure no part of your model hangs over or under the base.
3D printing takes a long time, think carefully about when you will need your project by and give yourself plenty of time to get it printed - it can take a whole day and night to print some projects!
