Our 3D printer can fabricate physical models in a variety of shapes, colors and materials. Whether you’re crafting business card holders, whimsical figurines or essential tool parts, the possibilities to bring your creations to life are endless. To get started, we recommend free online resources such as Thingiverse and Tinkercad to generate designs that can be submitted to the library as 3D printer requests.
The Process
- Find or create a project to print. See our suggested resources section to get started.
- Fill out our 3D print request form.
- You’ll be contacted regarding material, size, pricing and ETA.
- Once confirmed, your project will enter the print queue and you will be contacted when it is ready for payment and pick up.
Timing
Please allow 7–10 days from project submission to completion.
Materials and Fees
Each project has a $1 machine use fee, plus materials.
PLA $0.15/gram
PLA is the standard 3D printing filament, ideal for general-purpose 3D prints.
TPU $0.15/gram
TPU is a flexible filament, able to bend and absorb light impacts.
PETG $0.15/gram
PETG is a durable filament, able to withstand pressure and impacts.
Project Limitations
The maximum print size is 256 millimeters, about 10 inches, cubed.
