Makerspace – 3d Printing

A Few Things You Can Make

• Prototypes
• Replacement parts
• Jewelry and other accessories
• Toys

What's Available

The following 3D printers are available at the Irvington Library & Makerspace Garage:

• 3 Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ with default 0.4mm nozzle
• 1 Original Prusa i3 MK3S with 0.6mm nozzle

What You'll Need

• Filament: The Library provides PLA filament in limited colors for up to two (2) hours of printing per day. If your print will be longer than two hours, or if you require a different filament type or color, please speak with Library staff about providing your own. Library staff will need to review any filament you bring to be sure that it will work with our space and equipment.
• SD Card: This is required to transfer your file to the 3D printer. We recommend bringing your own as the Library may not have one available for you to use.
• Laptop: During your appointment, you will have access to a laptop with PrusaSlicer, which you can use to transfer files and adjust your print settings. You may also bring your own, just be sure to have PrusaSlicer already downloaded and set up.

Project Limitations

Prusa i3 MK3S/MK3S+ printers have a bed size of 9.84 x 8.3 x 8.3 inches (25 x 21 x 21 cm)

All prints must be completed during your reservation. Reservations have a maximum length of five (5) hours, which includes checking in for your reservation, setting up, preparing your file for printing, cooling, and removing your project from the print bed.

Safety Considerations 

• The print nozzle and printer bed get very hot during the printing process. Do not touch either one while your project is printing. 
• You are required to actively supervise your project as it is printing.  
• Tell Library Staff immediately about any printer malfunctions. 
• Those under the age of 13 must have a parent or guardian actively supervising them while using this equipment.
