You can upload your 3D files to Mr. Jason and the MFL staff. We will attempt to print them on one of our new MakerBot Sketch 3D printers (thanks to the Wawa Foundation and Rotary Club of Media), then contact you to pick up your printed object and pay for it.
Mr. Jason predominately uses the MakerBot Sketch printers for submitted print jobs. Build volume for our printers is 150mm x 150mm x 150mm, although rafts are needed so your design should be 130mm x 130mm x 130mm or less!
Guidelines:
The library is unable to print the following:
1. Content or objects that are illegal or harmful to minors.
2. Content or objects that may be construed as having intent to harm.
3. Content or objects that may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of a third party.
By submitting content or objects, the customer agrees to assume all responsibility for, and shall hold the Library harmless in, all matters related to patented, trademarked, or copyrighted materials. The Library is not responsible for the functionality or quality of content produced on the 3D printer.

Looking to get an estimate on print time and weight/cost for your print?
We recommend you download MakerBot Print and run a Print Preview to get a rough estimate of how long your print job will take, and how much it’ll weigh. Again, we charge $0.20/gram + tax and ask print jobs have minimum overhang.
If you do not want to download MakerBot Print to get an estimate yourself, MFL staff can email you with an estimate & quote before we print your object(s). Just click on SUBMIT FILES HERE! to submit your .STL file.

Guidelines:
- We charge $0.20/gram of what is printed (including rafts, supports, etc.) + tax
- Objects must not require a lot of supports or have a lot of overhang--the flatter and more surface area on the printbed, the better the results
- Only 1 object at a time can be submitted & printed
- Only 2 objects a week can be submitted for printing per household
- Please allow Mr. Jason & MFL staff 7 days to attempt to print your submitted designs
- Designs must be uploaded as .STL files

What can be printed successfully?
Too intricate, too much fine detail, and too much overhang between the bottom and the arms (open space). Won't print on our printers! :(

Simple, flat, no overhang. This would definitely print on our printers (as long as it isn't very big)! :D
