The 3D Printer has all the bugs worked out and is now available for student projects. If you have a print in mind that might enhance one of your school projects, first get the 3D Print approved by your subject teacher, then drop by the library to record your print request in the log book. One of our trained students will see if your print is compatible with our printer. They can also help with your ideas. We have a wide range of colors to choose from. We can also print most personal projects at a cost of 20 cents per meter of filament used. This is dependent on availability and color of filament requested.
