  • Regular Printing

    • Adding CEOAS Printers To Windows

      • To print to college printers in CEOAS using Windows, you’ll need to connect to the college print server and setup a local print queue that connects to a print queue on the print server.
      • To start, open Windows Explorer, and in the location field type: \\ceoas-print.ceoas.oregonstate.edu

         

      • Please note: if you are not attached to OSU’s Windows Active Directory (OSU AD), you’ll be prompted for a username and password. You’ll need to use your ONID credentials for this, and specify your domain, which in this case is ‘onid’, e.g.,

        Login name: onid\burtw

        Password: <your onid password>

        There is typically a pause while you get logged in. Once you’re logged in, the screen should change to look like:

      • From this, double-click on the printer you want to setup a queue for. A small window will briefly appear that will indicate printer drivers being installed and a local print queue is being setup. Once it is finished, a small window of the newly created local print queue will appear:

      • You should then open an item you want to print and try printing. For longer documents, you should see it appear in your print queue:

      • Once it is finished, it should disappear from the print queue, and your printout should be ready at the printer.

         

  • Adding CEOAS printers to Mac OSX (Pre-Ventura)
     

    • Open Printers and Scanners in System Preferences.


       
    • Click the + button to add a new printer.


    • Right Click/Option Click/Two Finger Click an icon in the top left to open the

      context menu and choose “Customize Toolbar”. This only needs to be done once.


       
    • Drag the Advanced icon to the right of the existing icons in the top left, again this only needs to be done once.



    • Click on the Advanced icon, then fill out the fields as shown. The URL

      starts with: "smb://ceoas-print.ceoas.oregonstate.edu/"followed by the

      name of the printer listed on the next page and then "?encryption=no".

      The printer name is case-sensitive! Also, be sure to use “Generic PostScript Printer”.


      Example:
      smb://ceoas-print.ceoas.oregonstate.edu/NameOfPrinterFromList?encryption=no


      *       There is a current issue with some of the latest updates to MacOS that

      breaks printing to Windows print servers. If, after a MacOS update your

      printing breaks, try removing and re-adding your printer with "?

      encryption=no" added to the end as shown above.

       

      Be sure to enable Duplex Printing Unit to allow for double sided printing.

      The names of the printers are as follows*:

      Burt127c-Color

      Burt290a-Color

      Burt290a-Copier

      *Printer names are case sensitive


       

    • Be sure to enable Duplex Printing Unit to allow for double sided printing.


       

    • After trying your first print job, you will be asked for a username and

      password. Enter your ONID username and password here. If the

      printing attempt fails with a “Holding for Authentication” error, that

      means that you’ve entered your username and/or password incorrectly.

      Try printing again and entering the correct ONID username and password.

      Once you are sure that it’s working, you can check the “Remember this

      password in my keychain” option.

      If you have selected the “Remember this password” option and then later

      change your ONID password, you -must- use the Keychain Access app

      (Applications>Utilities>Keychain Access) and update the saved password.

      Launch the app, enter ‘ceoas-print’ in the search box. Double click on the

      resulting printer name (it will be the name of the first printer you added

      from ceoas-print), click the ‘Show password’ box, enter the password for

      your account on your Mac and click Allow. You will now see your old ONID

      password in the password field and you can change it to your new one.

      Don’t forget to click the Save Changes button when you are finished.

  • Plotting Services

    • CEOAS has two HP Z6200 plotters and one HP Z5400 plotter. We can work with users to print posters on universal coated paper. This is a lightweight paper that is suitable for conference posters. If you need something printed on a heavy weight paper, photo paper, Tyvek, Vellum or other specialty media please contact RACS to discuss options.  There may be a fee for specialty products.
       
    • Class Plots: CEOAS plotters are available for students in CEOAS courses to have each student print a single poster per class. This is not for test prints and is focused on large or end of class projects. Please do not abuse this service.
       
    • Research Plots: Researchers are provided access to have large posters printed for conferences and meetings. Please contact the RACS group directly with your needs and we can help you format and ensure your poster will look good before printing.

  • All posters should be in .PDF format and poster related questions should be submitted to posters@ceoas.oregonstate.edu.
  • Please submit posters 48 hours in advance.  This is essential to ensure that someone is available to print them in time. 
  • The maximum width of our plotters is 42".  One dimension of the poster must be 42" or less.  The other dimension is not critical.
  • Please limit the use of dark or saturated background to help conserve ink.

     


 

  • 3D Printing

    • About: 3D printers use digital models to fabricate three-dimensional objects, a layer at a time.  The process of 3D printing - called additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping in engineering and commercial settings - has been around for almost 30 years.  Low cost 3D printers, do-it-yourself kits and open source software are bringing the technology into broader use.
       
    • Our 3D Printers:
       
      • Prusa i3 Mk3S+.  This is one of the best options in its category, offering both incredible print quality and great usability.
      • Prusa Mini. This is a smaller version of the MK3S+. Useful for printing items that don't need the larger print bed on the full sized printer. 
         
    • Filament Types:
       
      • Common
        • PLA (Polymer Polylactide): is a plastic made from plants (usually corn or sugarcane) this is also labeled with a 7. PLA plastics don’t contain BPA; no safety concerns have been raised about using PLA plastic with food.  Quicker print speeds than other 3D printable plastics.
           
        • ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): ABS has a strong resistance to corrosive chemicals and/or physical impacts.  Stable up to 150° C.  Should be printed in a vented location.  Print times are longer than PLA and are susceptible to some shrinkage so that has to be considered when designing something using ABS.  
           
        • PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol): Similar to both PLA/ABS, although PETG is stronger but takes longer to print with. It's also slightly more flexible than PLA.
           
      • Special
        • Woodfill
        • Metal composites
        • Ninaflex and other flexible materials
        • Transparent
        • Dissolvable support material​
           
    • 3D Printing Tips:
       
      • File Format: Please provide a Stereolithography file, with an STL extension (.stl).  Most CAD programs as well as some free 3D modeling software packages can save or export in this format.
         
      • Dimensions: Your 3D model must fit within the build envelope of our printer, which is 25 x 21 x 20 cm or 9.84 x 8.3 x 8 in.  The minimum thickness of a layer is 0.15 mm so the smallest features that will accurately be produced must be at least this value. It is recommended that part thicknesses be at least 0.15 mm or greater.
         
      • Other print settings such as infill percentage, infill shape, print speed, etc : Consult with us if you have questions.
         
    • How to Submit Jobs
       
      • Please send printing requests to 3Dprinting@ceoas.oregonstate.edu. Include your .stl file and any specific printing parameters (resolution, infill, material, etc) needed for your print. If you have questions or need help with your model we do offer 3D design consultation and support, just let us know.
         
      • This service is primarily for rapid prototyping, replication of research-based models, and providing models for teaching aids in the classroom. There is no cost associated but if you need a lot of printing done we may ask you to furnish your own filament.
         
      • Submit your 3D print request well in advance of when you need it.  Due to the nature of the tech there is no such thing as a rush job so please plan accordingly. At a minimum, plan to submit at least 1 week (7 days) in advance of the day needed.
