Interested in 3D printing? Send a file our way, and we will print for you! Once your print is complete, we will send an email letting you know. 3D prints can be picked up at the library service desk. Tools to clean and customize your printed object are available in the makerspace during open hours or by appointment. We also offer primer and paints to customize your 3D print!
You can also schedule an appointment with makerspace staff to talk through your 3D print ideas before submitting the 3D print request form.
3D printing requests are completed on a first-come, first-serve basis. We ask that you allow at least 36 to 48 hours to complete your print (72 hours over the weekend). Print time may vary based on the size and density of the print. We also cannot guarantee a successful print. Please take this into consideration if you have a tight deadline.

Create your own custom buttons with our Button Makers! Two sizes are available: 2.25" and 1.25".
