    Is this a free service?

    I presume you'd have to pay for the material?

    There is no charge to 3D print at the moment.

    All computer access is free in Fingal Libraries.

    3D Printing is now available in Donabate Portrane Library

    Many thanks, used the service today for printing a small item that is impossible to purchase! Great to see the 3D printer in action. Thank you for your help.

    There are some 3D printing companies in Dublin but in general you must buy in bulk or create a large object to meet the minimum cost (usually about €75).

    Folks new to this part of boards, and also to the wonderful world of 3D printing.

    I don't own a 3D printer, but got interested watching a video of a guy who 3D printed and painting a Dungeon.

    I've got access to the guys STL files, and I was wondering if I could walk into the library and try a few test prints? Do you need any skills to work the printer other than selecting the STL file etc? Thanks in advance.
