The build volume is 11.02” x 11.02” (width and depth) x 9.8” (height) or 1,185 cubic inches, so each printed piece has to fit in that space. What is the biggest object I can print? Have you ever made a banner out of several sheets of copier paper? Technically you can make the object as big as you want by designing it in several pieces. Staff have the right to veto certain print requests. Ĭan I build a gun at the library? Probably not. Once you have a 3D model, simply download and use the free software, Cura. What software do I need to print with the Lulzbot Taz 6 or Lulzbot Taz Workhorse? If you are looking to create your very own object, you will need to do so through a 3D modeling software such as TinkerCad, SketchUp, SolidWorks, or Autodesk Maya otherwise, you can simply download models made by the community from free online databases such as or. You can submit up to three separate print files at a time. In some cases, this can save you time while printing projects with multiple pieces. We won’t be able to print anything that takes more than 12 hours.ĭo I have to print one item at a time? You can sometimes print multiple objects at the same time if there is enough room on the print bed and you want them to be the same color. Larger and more complex objects may take a few hours or longer. Some small objects can be printed in an hour or less.
How long does it take? Depends on the size of the object and how many other print jobs are in line ahead of you. As individuals get trained in how to use the machine, they will be allowed to use it on their own.ĮXTRA LARGE OBJECTS over 75 grams $0.15 per gram Who gets to use the printer? Right now, our expectation is that staff will assist with printing. What kind of 3-D printer does the library have? We have one Lulzbot TAZ 6 printer and one Lulzbot TAZ Workhorse with 1.75 mm filament in a variety of colors. Libraries are incubators of ideas? Absolutely! We are not your fuddy-duddy library! Why does the library have a 3-D printer? Besides being awesomely fun? Libraries across the United States are getting 3-D printers as part of a push to become "maker spaces" in our communities. The 3-D printer is here and objects are being made! We are still learning so please be patient with us!
