HackRVA has three 3D printers in residence: a Prusa i3 MK3, an [[Ultimaker 3]] and a Form 1+. The Form1+ is a resin type 3d printer that uses a liquid photopolymer that is selectively hardened by a UV laser on the bottom of a clear tank. The makerspace usually has a selection of generic filament for occasional use. Members should provide their own filament if they are printing a large project or require a specific type.
HackRVA has several 3D printers in residence, described in the table below. In addition to traditional 3d printing, the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra is a resin 3d printer that uses a liquid photopolymer that is selectively hardened by a UV LCD screen on the bottom of a clear tank. HackRVA usually has a limited selection of PETG and PLA for small occasional prints. Members should provide their own filament or liquid resin if they are printing a large project or require a specific type.




Here’s a short comparison of the four printers:

HackRVA has several 3D printers in residence, described in the table below. In addition to traditional 3d printing, the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra is a resin 3d printer that uses a liquid photopolymer that is selectively hardened by a UV LCD screen on the bottom of a clear tank. HackRVA usually has a limited selection of PETG and PLA for small occasional prints. Members should provide their own filament or liquid resin if they are printing a large project or require a specific type.
