3D Services in Bethel University Library: Request a Print

When you submit a file to us through the widget below, we will need to check the integrity of file design for the following: 

• measurements
• supports for stability
• if a raft is needed for stability so it will stick to the printer build plate

Please specify the desired size you would like it to be, as we may need to make some adjustments.
We will notify you via email of any problems we detect:

• to process the file 
• estimated costs of the printed object, depending on our printer's print time
• when you will be able to pick it up
• Hold it at the Check Out Desk in the Bethel University Library.

We are not a high volume 3D print shop, therefore due to availability, we reserve the right to change printers and therefore print time.

The current cost is:

Items printed on our consumer-level 3D printers may have small surface defects such as bumps or holes. These routine defects will not be cause for refund or lack of payment for the object. Also note that while our printers are very accurate, we will not guarantee any precise tolerances on fitting of multi-part objects.

All submissions are subject to approval based on scheduling and availability. We reserve the right to decline any print request for any reason.

Some objects (such as those with steep overhangs) require temporary support material to be printed. This material is easily removable; the user will be completely responsible for removing this material -- library staff will not remove support material.
