Submit Another!

If this is your first print, start designing and printing something else! Some schools are busy and take a day or two to print your requests. Getting your work submitted early is always a good idea to make sure you have your work on time.

Post a "Make"

If you are printing someone else's Community Object, post a Make! If it's your own object, now's a great time to add some details, take a photo, and share the object with the Community.
