Think It-Make It with 3D Printing

 Only found out now that the library can do 3D printing. 

3D Printing Service Now Available for all
VIRL Branches

At the Creativity Commons, there have been
some great 3D prints being made for customers
and now we’re opening this service to all
39 VIRL branches!

Send us a .STL file to cc@virl.bc.ca with your
branch details, preferred filament colour, and
anything we might need to know about your
file. Staff in the Creativity Commons will assess
the file to ensure it fits within our 6-hour max 
printing window and connect with you about any
 issues. It’ll take 1-2 weeks for us to  print your
 file, apply quarantine procedures, and ship to
your branch  for pickup. Printing costs $0.10/gram.

Once your file is ready, Creativity Commons
staff will let you know when your print has
 shipped to your branch. Your local branch staff
will then connect with you to arrange a pick-up.
