Scanning

  • Scanning is free of charge.

3D Printing

As 3D printing takes time, filament, and space within the Makerspace, there are charges for the use of the 3D printer.

  • The first hour is $10, then it is $3 per hour until the print finishes.
  • Library staff do not create or adjust files for patron printing. Patrons are responsible for finding their own 3D print files.
  • Patrons are responsible for any post-processing of the print once it is finished (ie removal of supports)
  • If you wish to slice your own files, the preferable slicer to use is Flashprint set up for a Flashforge Guider IIS
    • The Library only accepts sliced files in .gx format

The 3D printing process is as follows:

  1. Patrons send Library staff the following:
    • 3D files they wish to print
    • Preferred size of the print
    • Preferred filament colour used for printing (single colour only)
  2. Library staff will then process the files through our slicing program, then report back the printing ETA and price.
  3. If price and ETA are accepted by the patron, staff will begin the 3D print at their next convenience.
  4. Once print is finished, final price is set and payment is accepted in exchange for the print.

Please speak to library staff if you have any questions regarding this process.
