  15. Some Stats through Spring 2014 • Over 2200 3D prints so far • 62% on uPrint, 38% on MakerBot • ~500 unique users • 54% said they would not have been able to 3D print otherwise • ~69% of users are engineers

  16. Space as a Service • Patrons bring design • We operate machines • We are much cheaper • Student Staff as experts

  17. Challenges • Machine Failure • Makerbot Support • Taking Payment

  18. Lessons we’ve learned at Hunt • Staffing for consistency • Changing Hours • Procedures are important
