The 3D printer may only be operated by library staff.

Patrons can submit a file for printing by emailing us at [email protected]. A staff member will respond with an estimated cost. We charge 10 cents per gram of filament.

Patrons must have a KanShare library card in good standing (no lost/damaged items or fines over $10) before submitting a file for print.

Files can be found on Makeronline (preferred), Thingiverse, Printables, Thangs, etc.

Maximum printing time will be 8 hours. No overnight prints will be allowed.

We will not print weapons or anything that may be construed as obscene or otherwise inappropriate for the library environment. 

Limit 2 projects per month per patron. Bulk printing may be allowed at staff discretion.

Trimming, cleanup, and removal of supports is the responsibility of the patron.

Files submitted in a single color will be printed in a single color. Multi-color prints are limited to four colors, and each color in the model must map to a single filament. 

Our filament is not food safe. Therefore, we will not print items that will come into contact with food.
