The Makery - Makerbot Replicator+ 3D Printer
What Is It?
With the Makerbot Replicator+ 3D printer, you can create 3D objects printed from PLA filament. Bring your two-dimensional ideas to three-dimensional life!
How Do I Use It?
Patrons under 18 must have a parent present in The Makery to approve the print, or a parent must email the print to the librarian.
Use the MakerBot Print program on our Dell Alienware computers to create a project, or find one on Thingiverse. Send .makerbot files to themakery@linwoodlibrary.com, specifying your desired print color. You can also save your file to a USB flash drive and give it to the Makery librarian, who will contact you by phone or email when your print is completed. Depending on the size of the object being printed, print times vary from about half an hour to several hours. The maximum print size is 11.6 x 7.6 x 6.5 in.
Available PLA Colors:
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Purple
- White
- Warm Gray
