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 Lynda.com! You can access Lynda.com 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.
