We have both FDM (plastic filament based) printers and SLA (liquid resin based) printers at Purcellville.
We currently have four currently (2/24/18) have 4 3D printers in the 3D printing main room in MS-LP. They each have their own method for printing.
MonoPrice IIIP (Also known as the MonoPrice Select Plus)

Rostock MAX v2 (Also called Delta Bot, SeeMeCNC)
File Type: gCode - Marlin/RepRap
This printer is hardwired to the desktop printing station. The bed leveling is software based in their MatterControl software and is easier to use from there. You can also use Simplify3D (on loan from Sean Devine) which has a direct print button on it.

Wash and Cure
We also now have a Wash and Cure station for the Resin printer.
This allows you to place your resin model in the wash tub with alcohol, seal the tub and place it on the station. You can set a timer and it will automatically agitate the alcohol and stop at the set time. Once you are done cleaning it, you can place it on the turntable, set the timer and the UV lights will cure your model while spinning it to get all sides.
Do not dump used alcohol down the drain
