The hackRVA makerspace has five 3D printers in residence: a Prusa i3 MK2, an Ultimaker 3, an UP Mini, a da Vinci Pro, and a Form 1+. Form1+ is a different type of 3d printer: It uses a liquid photopolymer that is selectively hardened by a UV laser on the bottom of a clear tank. It is capable of much higher resolution.

The makerspace has a wide selection of filament. We try to keep some generic filament loaded for your occasional use. If you want something special, you can bring your own and load it.

Here’s a short comparison of the four printers:
