The main library has a Lulzbot Mini 2 available for public use. There is a flat fee of $1 per print.
If you would like us to print your object for you, and you have a print-ready .stl file, send it to Matthew at martens@noblenet.org. Matthew will follow up with turnaround estimates and, if necessary, requests for clarification.
Print job durations may not exceed 10 hours. All printing must be completed 30 minutes before the library closes.
Patrons interested in learning more about our printer, and about 3D printing in general, are encouraged to sign up for an Introduction to 3D Printing session. The session, which can be booked through our Book a Librarian service, covers the basics of working with the 3D printer and a brief survey of ready-made design sites such as Thingiverse. Introduction to 3D Printing is open to all ages.
After completing the instructional session, and signing our user agreement and liability waiver, patrons can schedule independent printer use by contacting Matthew at martens@noblenet.org.
The library’s 3D printer was generously provided by the Friends of the Beverly Public Library.
