Frequently Asked Questions

What can I print?

Anything! As long as it is appropriate for a Library setting, safe, and not in contravention of copyright law, you can print just about anything! However, Library staff reserve the right to terminate any job for any reason, including inappropriate content or printing malfunctions.

Where can I find things to print?

Create your own designs or download them from websites such as:

  • thingiverse.com
  • youmagine.com
  • myminifactory.com

Where can I learn more about 3D printing online?

Do you want to learn more about 3D printing and 3D modeling? Try one of the courses on LinkedIn Learning! You can access LinkedIn Learning for free with your Library card. Why not get started with the "Learning 3D Printing" course, or one of the many software specific 3D modeling courses available? 

What file formats can I use?

We recommend using .STL files. While other types of files are possible to print, we use .STL whenever possible. If you want to use a different file type, check with Library staff first.

How big can my objects be?

The maximum build volume is 215 x 215 x 200 mm (8.5 x 8.5 x 7.9 in).

What type of material does the printer use?

We use PLA filament, which is biodegradable. This is the most common type of filament currently in use for 3D printing.
