This Policy's purpose is to outline how student, and community DSU Makers club members interact with, and use the club's equipment.

Membership Fees and costs

Club members may purchase printing credits at $2 minimum to pay for their 3D prints. Printing credits will be allocated to the member's account and will roll over to the following semesters. Refunds will not be issued.

DSU Members

  • Member fee included in DSU fees.
  • 3D printing will be charged per gram of filament used.

Community Members

  • Membership is $5 per Semester.
  • 3D printing will be charged per gram of filament used.

Member Account Balance Tracking

All new members will be granted a one-time allotment of 150 grams of PLA filament. PLA printing costs will be applied at $0.03 per gram. Members must exist in the account sheet and have a positive balance before using equipment. Member balances will be deducted at time of print. Account updates must be input by a member of the Executive board.

Equipment Access

Club Executives and the DSU Clubs Coordinator are the only key holders for the Equipment Cart and the Clubs Storage room.

3D Printing Equipment and Materials

*We Will not print guns, and other life-like weapons*

Printing queue

  • Members may only use one printer at a time, unless given approval by executives
  • Prints that would finish after the club meeting hours will be moved to an "Overnight" print slot
  • Members with overnight prints must wait until the next club meeting, or for an email stating the print is ready for pickup at the front desk of the Student's Union in New Westminster.

Filament usage

  • Club Members may use any filament listed in the print tracker. Club Members may bring their own filament but must receive permission from an Executive before printing with it to confirm compatibility with the printer.

Equipment Usage

  • All equipment must remain within the club's space and Cart.*
  • Members may use electronics equipment for development or prototypes but must be left with club equipment by end of meeting

*Exceptions for off campus workshops, which must be facilitated by an executive member and approved by the DSU Clubs Coordinator.

All members of the DSU Makers Club must also adhere to the DSU Clubs Policy.
