Abstract

QPrints is an interactive website that allows users to start a 3D print on a Lulzbot Mini 2 printer from a standard 3D model (.stl, .3mf). The user does not need to be on the same network as the 3D printer to access the print jobs. To elaborate, QPrints combines a 3D slicer (which transforms a 3D model into GCODE, a set of machine instructions for the printer) with Octoprint, a web-based application that allows monitoring or tuning of print jobs connected via cloud to the Octopi operating system running on the Raspberry Pi. The Pi, connected to the internet, will act as a computer connected to the printer. This website optimizes and simplifies the 3D printing workflow for the Tenzer 3D printing lab.
