3D Printing

Getting Started

To submit a printing request, complete a 3D printing application(PDF, 294KB) at the Information Desk on the first floor. An up-front fee of $2 per item is collected at the time the request is made.

Cost

  • Prints are 15¢ for every gram of plastic used.
  • Payment will be determined after the print is done and will be due at the time of pickup.
  • Refunds are not given for prints that do not print as the patron expected or desired.
  • The patron is not charged for failed prints caused by staff error or hardware failure.

Designing Your 3D Print Project

  • 3D print designs are available on several sites. Speak to staff about our latest recommendations.
  • Designs are available to review in the 3D printing notebook at the Library.
  • Color availability varies depending on stock.
  • Prints cannot be done in multiple colors unless there are multiple parts.
  • Library staff reserves the right to refuse a print job.

Post-Processing

  • Patrons are responsible for the post-processing of their print, such as filing or removing support material.
  • Library staff are unable to assemble a print that has multiple parts.
  • Turn-around time on prints cannot be guaranteed. Requests are printed in the order they are submitted and may take 1-2 weeks.
  • Prints will be held for 14 days. After this time, they become Library property.
  • Staff cannot be held liable for damages once the print has been given to the patron.
