Common Questions
What can I print?
You may print objects that align with the library’s policy and are appropriate for a public space. Common examples include educational models, small tools, household items, prototypes or art pieces.
Where can I find files to print?
Search sites like Thingiverse or Printables to find existing prints, or create your own with sites like Tinkercad. You can prepare your files ahead of time using the free Prusa Slicer software or use a library computer to prepare your file during your appointment.
What does it cost to print?
Printing costs are based on the amount of filament used. Staff will review your file and provide a cost estimate before printing begins, so there are no surprises. Costs are rounded up to the nearest $1.
What colors are available?
Available colors depend on what we have on hand, and may include black, white, red, gold, and rainbow.
How much can I print?
You can print up to 6 hours per month.
