3D Printer
Summary
Used with station or ship blueprint chips to automate the building of a blueprint.
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.
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.
Device fields
To learn more about the usage of fields, consult these wiki pages:
| YOLOL Field | Description | Range |
|---|---|---|
| PrintingRateLimit | [0, inf] | |
| PrintingRate | [0, inf] | |
| WorkingRateLimit | [0, inf] | |
| WorkingRate | Shows the time for the CurrentItemWorkRemaining at the current moment, affected by the radiator efficiency. | [0, inf] |
| 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] |

How to use
3D Printer
- 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.
- Insert a blueprint chip
- You can buy these from the Marketplace.
- 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)
Small 3D Printer
- Insert fuel rod into the printer
- Insert the blueprint chip
- 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)
