You will need to submit your updated .stl file, .obj file, or .print file through our 3D Printing Request Form. A .print file is preferred, as this allows you to format the print specifically as you want before submitting it to us. 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. Please refer to our Helpful Hints Before You Print section, on the right of this screen, to make sure your design is printer-friendly before you submit your file.
You will receive an email when your 3D Printing Request is scheduled, a second email when the job is printing, and a third email when your request is completed. Once you've received the third email, you can pick it up from Reed Library at your convenience near the Service Point across from the entrance of Reed Library. 3D Prints will be available in "Re3D To Go" bags on a small table to the left of the "Reed To Go" library materials pickup area. No FredCard is needed for pickup, just look for the bag with your name on it and you're all set!
