About 3D Printing

3D printers can take a digital file you have created, found, or bought, and turn it into a real-life, three-dimensional object.

Our Eastside Branch has two 3D printers:

  • Both printers are Bambu P1S printers, with a build volume of 256x256x256 mm3 (millimeters cubed)

You will need a library card to use a computer and send a 3D print. There is a maximum of one object printed per person per day. No new projects can be started within 30 minutes of the library’s closing time.

Printing weapons or weapon parts (including cosplay props, accessories or toys), sexually explicit materials, drug paraphernalia, smoking accessories or other items that contravene the library’s Rules of Conduct is not permitted.

How to Print

Customers can print their 3D files directly from one of the computers in the Gamerspace at our Eastside Branch. No forms or waiting – the 3D printers will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no time limit on your printing and you do not need to wait in the library once your print has begun.

Once your print job is completed, our staff will be in touch to let you know it is ready for pick up.
