We support both. You can export from the app and print on your home printer if you have one or you can order through Cubify and get it sent to you.

Yeah absolutely, we just have to figure out when to slot it in. We built in Unity so it shouldn't take too long.

What printers does this support? My classroom has a Robo R1 and I'd be interested in trying this out.

How big do the models print out at?
