The cost of 3D print models is based on weight. University Libraries will charge $.05 per gram for models weighing more than 20 grams. For models weighing from .01 to 20 grams, the cost will be $1.00. Prints that weigh over 100 grams ($5.00) will require patron approval before the print will be started. The maximum print size is 29.5 L x 19.3 W x 16.0 H cm [11.6 L x 7.6 W x 6.3 H in.]
First, you will need a 3D drawing to print out. You can create your own or find free designs available online. Make sure your design is in .stl format. Make sure it is within the dimension limits of 29.5 L x 19.3 W x 16.0 H cm [11.6 L x 7.6 W x 6.3 H in.] To ensure that your finished print will be what you expected, make sure to run your file through a print preparation program before submitting it.
Second, fill out the 3D print request form and submit it to University Libraries. Include any special instructions. Please make sure to include your correct email address so that we can contact you with any questions. We will contact you when your print is ready to be picked up.
Third, after the object is finished printing, you will want to give it some finishing touches. You might remove support material, use sandpaper to smooth it out, or add some paint to give it the final appearance you want.
