3D Printer Policy

Intended use of the Library’s 3D printer is primarily as an educational tool.

  • All print jobs must be submitted to a staff member for processing
  • Print files must be in STL format
  • Print jobs cannot exceed 3 hours in length
  • Staff will contact you with questions regarding your print via email, a rough timeline of when it will be completed, and how much it will cost.* 
  • Staff will notify you via email when the print is complete.

 * Price - 5 cents per gram currently, but can change at any time. 

 DISCLAIMER – 3D Printing is a process that is complicated and often involves troubleshooting.  We cannot guarantee we will be able to complete a print job.  We will contact you ASAP if this is the case.

 Library staff reserve the right to refuse to print items that are:

  • Prohibited by local, state or federal law
  • Unsafe, harmful, dangerous or pose an immediate threat to the well-being of others.
  • Obscene or otherwise inappropriate for the Library environment.
  • Violate copyright or intellectual property rights of another.  

 The Library is not responsible for the subsequent safety of any item made with the 3D printer.

 Items not picked up after a month will become the property of the Warwick Public Library.
