===== Instructions =====
  * [[Gaming PCs|PC3]] is set up with the [[https://www.creality.com/pages/download-software|Creality Print]] software that lets you convert STL or model files (downloaded from [[https://www.printables.com/|printables.com]] for example) to printable [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-code|G-code]].  You can also install it on your own PC and scan the network to detect the printer.  The Creality software will estimate the amount of filament required for each print in grams.

====== Costs ======
  * It's approximately £20 per kg of filament.  So, an average 30g print is roughly 60p (plus running/maintenance costs).
