3D Printing Guidelines

Our school has a Makerbot Replicator 3D printer. We use PLA filament and currently have several colors available.


The LCHS library 3D printer should be used for school purposes. All school rules listed in the code of conduct apply when 3D printing.


Once you have a saved (.stl) file, please complete the online form for printing.


Students are not allowed to use the 3D printers to print their projects. A library staff member must be supervising the use of the 3D printers.

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in loss of access to the MakerSpace.


**If you have any questions about this, please talk to a library staff member.
