> Hello,
> My 10-year old son recently learned about 3D printing during summer camp at
> UC Davis.  Now that he has a TinkerCad account he has designed a few
> projects
> and he would like to print one of them as a birthday present for his
> father.
> I have some questions about printing in the Makerspace that I hope someone
> can answer. Here are a few questions, but I have more so I would appreciate
> it if someone could call or email me directly:
> 1. What file type should we save the project (TinkerCad has several
> different
> output options)?
> 2. How should we bring the project to the space for printing (on a laptop,
> on
> a USB drive, via email, etc.)? If on a laptop, do I also need to have
> certain
> software installed?
> 3. Should we schedule a time/date for printing?
> 4. Is there a cost or recommended donation to cover the cost of materials?
>
> Thanks in advance!
