3D Printing: Useful Prints

You will need to submit your updated .stl file, .obj file, or .print file through our 3D Printing Request Form. This can be done by uploading the file directly to the request form, or by submitting the url for the source of the file. For more information see the software tab.

Designated library staff will look over the file to see if there are any obvious problems that need to be addressed. We go through and make sure that the design follows our content guidelines and is printer friendly!

• Occasionally, print jobs will fail, so there may be delays in completion, but every effort will be made to meet the anticipated deadline.

You will receive an email when your 3D Printing Request is scheduled and a second email when your print is complete. Once you've received the second email, you can pick it up from Reed Library at your convenience from our Re3D designated pick-up area. No FredCard is needed for pickup; just look for the bag with your name on it and you're all set!
