Free Public 3D Printer Use
Turn your digital designs into real-world physical objects with our 3D printers in the Level Up Digital Creativity Center at the Downtown Library!
Usage is limited to one single-colored print per day, per person (and their associated library card), and up to three hours of print time. Patrons must also be present in Level Up during submission of the 3D print files. Please note that the submission link for files is only functional at on-site MCPL computers. Patrons cannot submit files from their home computers. Patrons may return at a later date to collect their prints. For more information, read our 3D printer policy.
