Shoalhaven Libraries has two 3D printers available at Nowra and Sanctuary Point libraries and we are able to print jobs for members of the public.
Our 3D Printers
Shoalhaven Libraries has two Makerbot 3D Printer Replicator+ 6th Gen printers. These printers are able to print jobs up to the following size:
- 29.5cm Length
- 19.5cm Width
- 16.5cm Height
Our printers use PLA filament. We are able to print jobs in a solid colour and we have multiple colours to choose from including purple, yellow, black, green, blue, grey, orange and red. Due to opening hours we are only able to print jobs for up to 8 hours.
What do I need to provide to print?
The library requires you to send us an STL file of your 3D design. Most CAD software can export designs to the STL format.
How do I submit a job to print?
Please fill in the form below. Our staff will give you a time and cost estimate for the job. If you are happy to proceed we will print your job. Payment can be made upon collection of the job.
