3D Printing

Our Makerspace features a lineup of MakerBot and Creality 3D-printers. 3D-Printing is available by either sending your 3D-request in using the form below or by appointment.

Please be aware that files must be reviewed to ensure they comply with library policy (see below). For further information, please email makerspace@hhhlibrary.org.

All HHHCL patrons (age 14 and older or younger with an adult) who have a valid library card in good standing (no billed items or excessive fines) can use the 3D printer. Please be aware that several variables may cause your 3D print to not appear as represented. There may be rough edges, size variations, color substitutions, etc.

Patrons will be charged $1.00 per-hour of printing. After your item is printed, you will receive a ‘bill’ for the printing time which can be paid at the Public Service Desk when you go to pick up your 3D-print job.

Request an Appointment to Print

You can request an appointment with one of our “3D guides” for a hands-on experience or send us the file you wanted printed (pending review). This file can be from Thingiverse.com or you can create your own 3D-print file. If you have created your own 3D item, e-mail the .stl or .obj, to makerspacerequest@hhhlibrary.org for review.

Fill in the form at the bottom of this page to request an item to be 3D-printed.
