The library has two Robo E3 3D printers.  Our 3D printers are available to the community to make three-dimensional objects using a design that is downloaded from a digital computer file. All are welcome to submit files for our library staff members to print.

Please read the following parameters, and upload your file using the form below.

Restrictions: The established library Rules of Conduct shall apply to the appropriateness of objects to be printed on the 3-D printer.

  • The library reserves the right to refuse any 3D print request.
  • Only designated staff will operate the 3D printer.
  • A maximum of five hours of print time will be allotted for any item to be printed. If there is high demand, the library will schedule only one print per day per person or entity.
  • Any 3D drafting software may be used to create a design as long as the file can be saved in .stl or .obj file format.
  • The library will charge $1.00 for any item printed up to 28 grams in weight plus $ .25 for each additional gram.
  • All prints must fit on a 5.9″ x 5.9″ x 5.9″ printing surface.
  • The library is unable to print items in multiple colors, or via dual extruding. Please choose the color that works best for your project.

Wait/pickup time: Due to the volume of files received, please allow extra processing time for your print job to be completed. It is sometimes difficult to estimate exact print times. Library staff will make an educated guess about the length of a job upon request. Items must be picked up at the Ask Us desk.

  • Items that are printed on the 3D printer that are not picked up within 7 days will become the property of the library. Items must be picked up by the person who requested the print.
  • By submitting objects for printing, the patron assumes all responsibility for, and shall hold the library harmless in, all matters related to patent, trademarked, or copyrighted materials.
  • Patrons wishing to be present for the printing process must make an appointment with the Youth Services Department.

Questions about 3D printing:  If you have any questions or notes about your 3D print job, please send us a message at 3Dprint@summitlibrary.org,  and a library staff member will be in contact with you.
