Printing Notes
Only PLA and PETG 3D printer filaments supplied by the library are permitted. 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.
Staff may cancel a print job for any of the following reasons:
- The object does not meet Makerspace Guidelines
- The design has a high chance of failing to print
- The time needed for the print job exceeds your reserved time
