Bambu Lab X2D 3D Printer

Create three-dimensional objects at the library using advanced 3D printing technology. This printer uses PLA, a corn-based, plastic-like material, and works from digital design files such as .STL and .OBJ, which are prepared for printing using slicing software. Designed for precision and versatility, it supports a wide range of creative and practical projects, from prototypes to detailed models.

Printing Notes

Printing costs are $0.10 per gram of filament. The cost of the print will be charged to your library account, which can be paid online or at the library. You are allowed three attempts/fails at no cost.

Staff may cancel a print job for any of the following reasons:

  • the object violates Makerspace Guidelines.
  • if the design has a high chance of failing to print.
  • the time needed for the print job goes over your booked time for the 3D printer
