3D PRINT REQUEST
3D Printing Policies and Limitations

	Individuals are limited to one (1) standard print job per month. The library may make exceptions for educational, business, scientific, or other unique projects that require 3D prints beyond the standard limit. Please indicate that you are interested in such a project when submitting your print request.
	One (1) print request at a time. Once printed and picked up, another request may be submitted. Each request may have no more than five (5) separate parts contained within one 3D print file. Library staff will not be responsible for assembly of finished 3D prints. All prints are added to a queue of print jobs and will be printed on a turn-by-turn basis. Please note that print jobs for library-related programs may take priority over existing jobs in the print queue.
	All 3D print jobs should be printable within four (4) hours.
	Not all objects/designs can be printed as originally submitted. Upon staff review, designs may be modified, including scaling, grouping parts, and/or dividing parts in order to print within the allotted time. Maximum dimensions: 6" wide x 6" deep x 7" tall.
	The library will not print weapons, parts of weapons, or facsimiles of weapons, or any obscene, pornographic, or illegal materials. The library reserves the right to refuse to print any design.
	Print jobs will be completed within 28 days from submission. Staff will contact you in the event of a delay beyond the 28 days.
	Users are responsible for the removal of any support structures needed to print designs.

	Users must pick up completed prints within 30 days of notice. Failure to collect completed prints may result in a loss of printing privileges. Prints requested by adults can be collected at the Main Library at the 4th Floor Heritage Studio Desk during studio hours. Prints requested by children and teens aged 0-18 can be collected at the at the Main Library Circulation Desk on the first floor during library open hours.

All users agree to adhere to the Clearwater Public Library's Maker Studios Terms of Use

Please confirm the file is shared and can be downloaded.
URL FROM WEBSITE (Example: Thingiverse.com)

If your 3D design file exceeds 20 MB and is hosted on an external platform, please provide the direct URL below.

If you don't have an original design or a file ready to upload, there are many online sites where you can browse and select from a wide range of 3D models. Please enter the URL of the specific design you'd like to use.

Keep in mind that not all online 3D models are optimized for printing.

When linking to a design, note that some objects may consist of multiple part files. These are typically listed in the model's download section or file directory.
