3D Printing is now available at your Library

There is a handy FAQs sheet for people wanting more information. Wanting to submit a request but don’t know what to print? Try finding already designed items at Thingiverse, save the files in an .stl format and you are all set. If you want to create your own design try TinkerCad. People can request one item file per week at a cost of $1.00 regardless of the success of the printing. This helps cover the staff and material costs associated with 3D printing. The San Juan Island Library sees digital literacy as an important part of its mission, and is proud to add 3-D printing to its existing literacy programs such as Tech Tuesdays, Rock Island Seminars and ongoing computer classes. Need that missing chess piece or a new Star Trek Insignia Badge? (oh, wait- that’s just me…) Well you know where to ‘Boldly Go.’ Drop in and join us in this exciting new endeavor! For more information, visit the San Juan Island Library at 1010 Guard Street or follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
