Description & Special Requests *

Please describe the nature of the file and tell us anything that is pertinent in printing this file. The specific printer will be determined by the staff member as determined by the complexity of the file. If you would like for us to print from a specific printer, please detail below and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

PLA is the material that the Library uses

This is because PLA (polylactic acid) emits relatively scentless fumes that are nontoxic. It is also pretty easy to work with, and can be colored nicely with a variety of methods.

Please select up to 2 choices of colors of PLA. We will make every effort to print your object in one of your preferred choices and will contact you if your choice of filament color is no longer available.

The Makerbot Method is the only printer that has dual head extrusion where we offer a water soluble support filament called PVA. If your file is extremely detailed or has hard to reach areas that would make removing supports difficult, we will be utilizing this print option.
