3D PRINTER

Picture
3D PRINTER
There is something strangely calming about watching our 3D printer lay down layers of filament as it builds a project.  The process from file to object is surprisingly simple thanks to user friendly step-by-step instructions and trained staff who will lend a hand if you get stuck.  Users and passersby (and even staff!) regularly pause to watch this magical transformation take place.  Succulent planters, Baby Yoda figurines, hose adapters, credit card wallets, articulated chameleons - these are just a few of the thousands of free templates you can choose for printing on our MakerBot Replicator!

The cost of using the printer is $1.00 (0-60 minutes printing), $2.00 (61-120 minutes printing).  The cost will increase by $1.00 for every sixty minutes of use.  Patrons are asked to keep all prints appropriate in content and refrain from printing anything that could be considered a weapon. Users will be able to see the amount of time a project will take (and how much money it will cost) before deciding to print.  The machine is available first come, first serve.

COPYING, PRINTING & FAXING

COPY MACHINE/PRINTER:
Our easy to use, touch screen copy machine can make black & white or color copies with a simple push of a button!

Print images right from your smart phone to the copier by installing our free copier app! This copy machine also features a free scan to e-mail feature.
