Available for independent learning and exploration, staff assistance available at Bellevue or Federal Way Makerspaces. We have two Prusa Core One printers with .4mm nozzles. We print using 1.75mm PLA filament in a variety of colors.

• Print jobs must be complete by the end of your reservation window.
• You can bring in 3D files such as .stl or .obj and prepare them for printing using library laptops configured for 3D printing. Or, you can prepare the files at home and bring in the G-code file to print.
• Patrons 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
