Maker Space & 3D Printing

3D Printing 

3D PRINTING
The library has 3D printers that reproduce digital files as solid physical objects. Find out how to submit your files and take advantage of this technology.

ABOUT OUR 3D PRINTER
The library has a Flashforge Finder for our free 3D printing service. We use PLA filament for all 3D print requests.

USING OUR 3D PRINTERS

Before you submit your request, keep review the following rules:
 
RESTRICTIONS
The library’s 3D printer may not be used to create weapons or offensive materials 

There is a three hour time limit for print jobs.  Larger files will be scaled down or refused.

DESIGN RESOURCES
Software
We recommend Tinkercad, a free, web-based 3D design tool for beginner designers that includes lessons and short tutorials on available features. You will use your google login to sign in.

Free STL files
You can get free designs from Thingiverse, an online community for 3D printing. Search by keyword, or browse collections and categories for design options. The STL file is available for download. Be sure you download and use the .stl file.

SUBMIT A PROJECT REQUEST
Fill out the form, upload your <filename>.stl file!
