3D Printing
Bring your ideas to life with our 3D printing service at the West Torrens Library!
Submit your designs online, and we'll print your project for you to collect.
Submissions are requests only, and are not a guarantee of a completed job. All submissions will be assessed against our 3D Printer Service terms and conditions. Please ensure you read these carefully.
Prices are calculated based on filament usage, at the rate of $40/kg filament (charged by gram). An invoice will be sent and payment must be made prior to print commencement.
Swatches of available filament colours are available to be viewed on request.
For any enquiries about our 3D printing service, please email 3dprinting@wtcc.sa.gov.au
Sourcing models for print:
- Free model libraries exist with a range of models for print:
- There are also models (especially those advertised on social media or online shopping platforms like Etsy) that are available for purchase to obtain the license and file for printing.
Designing models yourself:
- There are free programs and websites available that can be used to design your own 3D models. These programs can require a bit of a learning curve, but there are a large number of great YouTube videos and online tutorials on how to use them:
- For those well-versed in 3D printing files, where possible, please supply a .3mf file that has been pre-sliced in Bambu Studio. This ensures any custom support generation and other settings are saved to your file
- We can also print .stl and .step files, but we will only set-up basic slicing settings (such as adding automatic support generation if required).
