1. Once your files are uploaded as a Project Folder, they are accessible to the Fab Lab technicians for processing. Any adjustments to these files may effect processing times.

Once your files have been uploaded, you will need to use the share function to allow Fab Lab technicians to see your work and process your prints.

On the right side of the folder ribbon, select 'Share'

In the Share dialogue box, select 'Share to Fab Lab'. Fab Lab technicians will be notified of your upload and be able to process your file.

Managing a project folder

On the right-hand side of the project folder ribbon you will find four buttons which you can use to manage your job.

'Edit' allows you to rename your project folder. It is critical that you do not change this name as it is the means by which Fab Lab technicians identify your job. If you change the project name your job may be delayed in processing.

'Share' allows you to share your project with other 3DPrinterOS users via email.

The object '+' symbol allows users to add files to the project folder. This may be necessary if there is an issue with your file and you have been asked by Technicians to re-upload your sliced files or upload other file types (.stl,.obj,.3mf).
