Linden Falls Public Library — Teen Maker Lab: Using the 3-D Printer

Who May Use the Printer

Teens ages 12–18 who have a Linden Falls library card in good standing may use the 3-D printer. Before your first reservation, you must complete a Maker Lab orientation. Teens under 14 must attend the orientation with a parent or guardian.

Before You Reserve

• Orientations are held Tuesdays at 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. Each lasts about 30 minutes. No sign-up is needed.

• Save your design as an STL file. Bring it on a USB drive, or email it to the Teen Desk at least one day before your session.

How to Reserve

Reserve a session at the Teen Desk or on the library's website. Sessions last up to 3 hours. Each person may hold one reservation per week. Reservations open 7 days in advance.

On the Day of Your Session

• Check in at the Teen Desk. If you are more than 15 minutes late, your session will be given to the next person on the waiting list.

• A staff member will review your file before printing begins. A print that will take longer than 3 hours cannot be started, but staff can help you divide a large design into smaller parts that can be printed in separate sessions.

Printing Costs

Prints cost 10 cents per gram of material, with a minimum charge of 50 cents. You pay when you pick up your print.

Pick-Up

Finished prints are held at the Teen Desk for 14 days. Prints that are not picked up within 14 days are recycled.

Lab Rules

Print only your own designs or designs you have permission to use. Staff may refuse any print that could be unsafe.
