NOTICE: The library is currently not accepting new 3D Printing submissions. Please check back in the future for more information on when this service will be restored.
Your print must comply with the Illinois Tech student handbook policies. We also do not accept prints of weapons, or anything that could be considered discriminatory.
The Exploration Space is equipped with Prusa 3D printers. The maximum print size is 25 cm × 21 cm × 21 cm. Prints vary in quality depending on the difficulty of the print; work with one of the Exploration Space's Maker Liaisons to dial in your print perfectly.
Your print is weighed after it is completed and we charge 5 cents per gram. Please pay for your prints at the online store. Once you have paid, you can pick up your print at the Exploration Space during our open hours. Projects can be expected to be printed within a few days of file submission.
When your print is finished, your Maker Liaison will weigh the print and email you with the final cost. They will then put the print in one of the Galvin Library's lockers and email you the locker number and code following payment.
If you need to use the Exploration Space's tools and work space to finish your print (remove supports, sand rough edges, etc.), please book an additional Maker Appointment to do so. The Exploration Space is not available to use without a Maker Liaison present.
