3D Printer Guidelines

To use the 3D printers, you must complete a one-time training session. Sign up for a training here. 

We can support print jobs up to 12 hours per print.

Patrons may reserve 1 (one) printer at a time.

Reservation length should correspond with the duration of your 3D print job. Get a time estimate for your print using MakerBot Print or CloudPrint.

There is no charge for 3D printer filament. You must use library-supplied filament.
