Cedar Falls Public Library offers 3D printing using our MakerBot Replicator+. Please read the >3-D Printer Policy if you are interested in submitting a print job to CFPL.

Printing costs $0.15 per gram of filament used, rounded up to the next whole number. If grams cannot be determined for whatever reason, the print cost will be $0.02 per minute of print time (calculated by the printer). Library staff cannot alter print jobs; jobs will be printed as they are received in the 3D Print Job Submission form. Print jobs must be in .stl format. Patrons must pay for their print jobs at the First Floor Service Desk before removing them from the library.

NOTICE: We can arrange curbside pick-up for completed print jobs, if preferred. Print charges will be added to patron library accounts, which can be paid online.
