- | 3D Printers are a block that allows you to print any block of any shape, with any type of texture. To get started with 3D Printers, you will need to have [[tutorial:program:oppm|Open Programs Package Manager (OPPM)]] installed. Once installed, run the following commands: `oppm install print3d` followed by `oppm install print3d-examples`. The examples can be found in `/usr/share/models/` as `.3dm` files. Take a look through the example files for available options. | + | 3D Printers are a block that allows you to print any block of any shape, with any type of texture. To get started with 3D Printers, you will need to place down a 3D Printer block next to a computer. This will give access to the [[component:3d_printer|printer3d component]] API, allowing you to set up and print models using the provided functions. |

+ | A more convenient way to setup 3D Printers is to use [[tutorial:program:oppm|Open Programs Package Manager (OPPM)]]. Once installed, run the following commands: `oppm install print3d` followed by `oppm install print3d-examples`. The examples can be found in `/usr/share/models/` as `.3dm` files. Take a look through the example files for available options. (Alternatively, you can download the `print3d` and `print3d-examples` programs from [[https://openprograms.github.io/|OpenPrograms]] using `wget` and an [[item:internet_card|Internet Card]]). | ||
In order to be able to print the models, a 3D Printer block needs to be connected to an existing computer. Once connected, you will also need to provide an [[item:ink_cartridge|Ink Cartridge]] and some [[item:materials|Chamelium]]. The amount of chamelium used depends on the volume of the 3D print, while the amount of ink used depends on the surface area of the printed item. | In order to be able to print the models, a 3D Printer block needs to be connected to an existing computer.
