CBU test tube holder

This 10 tube test tube holder has been customized to commemorate your Chemistry and/or Chemical Engineering courses here at Cape Breton University (CBU). The attached file has all the correct settings for 3D printing at the on the Prusa mini 3D printers at the CBU library. You need to follow the following steps to 3D print your own which will cost less than $20 and can be personalized with your own name. 

1. If it is your first time 3D printing at CBU you need to watch the two following videos on how to 3D print here at CBU (link https://libguides.cbu.ca/c.php?g=725379) these are found on the CBU library website under 3D printing. 
   • Video 1: Introduction to 3D printing (9min)
   • Video 2: How to use the 3D Printers in the Library (5min).
2. Watch the following video on how to modify your file to personalize the model with your own name (link here https://youtu.be/yIT7FCmbMvs and also available as video thumbnail below)
3. Download the model file (Part1 rev1.3mf) from this web page.
4. Use the Prusa Slicer software to open the model Part1 rev4.3mf. When the window appears select Open as Project option.
5. Follow the instructions from video in step 2 to personalize the model with your own name.
6. 3D print your custom test tube holder for class. It takes about 9 hours but remember you can print it overnight at CBU you do not have to watch the printer the whole time.
7. Pay and collect your 3D print as per CBU printing guidelines. If your 3D print fails you do not have to pay. (Note the most common cause of failures is not cleaning the 3D print bed properly with provided isopropyl alcohol wipes provided only.
