3D Printing

The Library’s 3D printer makes three-dimensional objects in plastic using a design saved as a digital computer file, which patrons can create or download from the internet. Patrons can submit 3D printing requests using our 3D Print Request Form below.  

Please see AR 4200 3D Printing for 3D Print Request Guidelines. 

• 3D prints cost $2 per half hour of estimated printing time. 
• Project fee will be stated in the notification of request approval. 

The Library uses a Creality Ender-3 Pro. Print files can be no larger than 200 mm x 200 mm x 250 mm. Estimated printing time may not exceed four (4) hours. 

The Library uses PLA plastic filament for 3D printing. Filament is available in the following colors: white, gray, black, red, orange, yellow, green, blue or purple. Items will only be printed in one (1) color.

The Library cannot guarantee a turnaround time. Estimated turnaround time is one (1) week. Turnaround time depends on how long the printing queue is, as well as the size and complexity of the order. Library staff will contact the patron by email when the order is complete. Patrons may pick up and pay for their request at the Computer Center Desk on the Library’s second floor.
