About
These Prusa 3D Printers have 2 toolheads on them, allowing for 2 different colors to be printed in a single part. These are extra-large printers, with a build volume of 36cm x 36xm x 36cm, the biggest in the building! There are 2 XL printers, one loaded with PLA and the other loaded with PETG. The PETG printer has an enclosure to help maintain the temperature, so you have to lift open the lid to remove prints. You can also ask the TAs to change the filament to another preferred color. After waiting for your print for the first 5 layers, you can leave the printer going unattended!
