INTRODUCTION
3D Printing can turn your ideas into actual
objects.
Through a generous loan by the non-profit
organization New Blankets, Morris Library now has
a 3D Printer. This printer allows the user to create
physical objects from digital models. All members
of the university community and the public are
encouraged to make use of this exciting
technology.
3D printing is sometimes referred to as additive manufacturing or rapid
prototyping. It is the process of creating a three dimensional physical object
from a digital model. The 3D printer builds the object vertically by putting
down layer upon layer of a plastic filament called PLA.
3D PRINTING STEPS
Design a 3D model or find one on a site like Thingiverse. 1.
Read the Morris Library Printing Policy. If your print is time sensitive,
please allow adequate time. Most prints will be finished in a few days,
but there may be times that the printer is malfunctioning, being
repaired, experiencing heavy use, or is being used for an event or a
course.
2.
Make sure your file is in .STL or .OBJ format. 3.
Fill out and submit a 3D Printing Request Form. If you have any
special instructions, please include them in the Additional Comments
box on the form. After you have submitted the form, the next screen
will include the location to submit your .STL or .OBJ file. To upload
your .STL or .OBJ file, click Browse under the Attach files option. Find
and select your file. Only .STL or .OBJ files will be accepted. Once you
have added your .STL or .OBJ file, click the Upload file button. If you
want to print more than one object, make sure to submit a file and
form for each one.
4.
Optional -If you wish, set up a consultation or appointment with a
member of the library staff to print your model yourself or watch it
print. If you choose this option, someone will contact you about
scheduling a time.
5.
Library staff will email you with a confirmation of your submission and
any follow-up questions.
6.
Once your model has been printed, you will receive another email
letting you know the cost of the object and how long you have to pick
it up.
7.
Pick up your model at the Morris Library Circulation Desk on the first
floor. You will also pay for your object at the Circulation Desk.
8.
Enjoy your object and start designing something new! 9.
