Many libraries now have makerspaces. For those of you who don't know, a makerspace is a community-operated workspace where people with common interests, often in computers, machining, technology, science, digital art or electronic art, can meet, socialize and collaborate.
I work in THINKspot. THINKspot is a collaborative workspace and makerspace within the Red Mountain Branch. Not many libraries in the valley have makerspaces yet, but they are growing in popularity. Many of these spaces have 3D printers and offers classes.
I'm going to show you a video we filmed to give you an idea of what our space looks and feels like.

Training
We offer classes 1-2 times a month. During the class, attendees learn to use the 3D printer. After the class is over, they sign a waiver. Most libraries will require you to undergo some sort of training before they will allow you to use their 3D printer. We cap our registration at 10. We want to make sure everyone has a chance to touch the printer, level the build plate and take turns uploading .stl files.
Our printer is a Makerbot Replicator 2. It has one extruder and will only print one color at a time. We charge .05 cents a gram for all printed materials, and that includes supports and rafts.. Because we are a public library, we make no extra money off of our print jobs. The .05 only covers the cost of the materials.

3D Design
Free design programs, some browser based, some software the requires downloads. Some is free and some is thousands of dollars a year. I'm going to touch on a few of the free programs that are out there.

Phoenix Children's Heart Center
Cardiac 3-D Print Lab
The cardiovascular surgeons at Phoenix Children’s Hospital produce 3-D prints for patients with heart defects. The resulting 3-D print is an accurate representation of a patient’s anatomy and can be used for surgical planning, family consultation and medical education.
For the past two years the lab has produced more than 100 3-D models of hearts, using medical images to replicate the hearts of individual patients.
The lab has collaborated with more than 15 institutions spanning six countries.
Heart models are often brought to the University of Arizona College of Medicine to help teach future doctors and surgeons.
The lab has also produced models for ears, skeletal structures, blood vessels, medical devices, and brains.

Zero Gravity Printer
The Zero-G Printer is the first 3D printer designed to operate in zero gravity. Launched into orbit on September 21, 2014, the printer was built under a joint partnership between NASA MSFC and Made In Space. Contracted as the “3D Printing in Zero-G Experiment,” this first version of the Zero-G printer has ushered in the era of off-world manufacturing.
Made In Space, Inc. has developed additive manufacturing technology for use in the space environment. By manufacturing space assets in space, as opposed to launching them from Earth, the company plans to accelerate and broaden space development while also providing unprecedented access for people on Earth to use in-space capabilities

What can you print on our printer?
PLA - Polylactic Acid
Can anyone tell me the melting point of plastic?
150-160 degrees celcius (or 302-320 degrees fahrenheit). We print our objects between 212 and 235 degrees celcius.
Make comments about objects, pass around the room.

Buttercup
Buttercup
Born with a backwards left foot, Buttercup the duck had never been able to walk normally. But thanks to 3D printing technology, Buttercup was fitted with a custom-designed silicone foot that has him up and walking like a duck.
Feathered Angels Waterfowl Sanctuary in Tennessee have been taking care of Buttercup and chronicling his journey on Facebook. They worked with 3D-printing company NovaCopy to print a replica of Buttercup's sister's left foot. Using that copy, the sanctuary was able to mold a silicone foot for Buttercup that could fit perfectly.
