Basic information

Small 3D Printer

The small 3D printer is a smaller, but slower version of the large printer. It has an integrated utility box and can accept it's own fuel rod, or use power provided from other sources

3D Printer

The large 3D printer requires a Utility box to connect to a station's power grid and to access the station inventory for material and to output complete parts.

How to use

Small 3D Printer

1. Insert fuel rod into the printer
2. Insert the blueprint chip
   • You can buy these from the Marketplace.
3. Turn on the printer
   • Change UtilityConnection field to 1, this is required to allow printer to put finished items into station storage.
   • Change PrinterControl field to 1 and make sure PrinterOrderAmount is above 0 (should be 1 by default).
   • Printer requires access to the building materials for each piece (through station storage or connected ore crates)

3D Printer

1. Prepare the printer
   • Requires a lot of power, it's recommended to use a Utility box and to purchase electricity to the station storage.
   • Radiators must be used to cool the printer, one printer needs approximately 17 radiators.
   • Printer needs to be connected to a storage. Use pipe connection with a Utility box.

1. Insert a blueprint chip

1. Turn on the printer
   • Change PrinterControl field to 1.
   • Printer requires access to the building materials for each piece (through station storage or connected ore crates)

CurrentItemWorkRemaining	Shows amount of work remaining for selected item, calculated every time CurrentItem changes and printer is on (-1 if printer is not on).	-1[0, inf]
UtilityConnection	Connects the printer's internal inventory to the station's/ship's inventory for material access and item output.	0/1
PrinterControl	Used to control the printer. 0: off, 1: on, -1: manual cancel of ongoing operation.	-1/0/1
PrinterStatus	Current state of the printer. 0: idle, 1: waiting for materials, 2: printing, 3: waiting for output.	0/1/2/3
PrinterOrderAmount	Used to select the number of times full blueprint is printed. Decrements by 1 every time the final item on the blueprint is completed unless already at or below 0, printer repeats from the first piece of not 0. -1 repeats printing indefinitely.	-1[0, inf]
CurrentItem	Index of selected item within blueprint chip.	[0, inf]
BlueprintItemCount	Amount of items in currently inserted blueprint chip. Updated when blueprint chip is inserted or removed (0 if no chip).	[0, inf]
