Caroline County Public Library has extensive experience with 3D printing, 3D modeling, and all aspects of the design process including most of the popular platforms and tools used in the 3D printing community. We have both FDM and SLA printers available as well as most of the tools used for post processing and 3D scanning.
Our mission is to make these new technologies available to library customers.
Types of 3D printing offered by the MakerSpace:
Due to the complexity of much of our equipment 3D printing at Caroline County Public Library is staff mediated. All 3d printing projects also need to comply with our 3D Printing policy.

Prusa Printers – Created by fellow maker Josef Prusa from the Czech Republic, these iconic orange and black FDM machines are our most used 3D printers in the MakerSpace. Our fleet consists of 1 MK3S outfitted with a Palette 2 Pro multicolor attachment, 1 standard MK3S, 1 MK2S, 1 Prusa SL1, and 2 Prusa Minis.
Ultimaker – Powerful, reliable, and user-friendly, the Ultimaker 2+ delivers consistent results – perfect for making batch orders and test prints. Our model features swappable nozzles, a heated glass build plate, and an open filament system capable of printing many types of materials.
Bq Witbox – Boasting the largest print surface available in the MakerSpace, the bq Witbox pairs reliable consistency with stunning performance to create some of our most highly detailed models, some of which can be seen during our Teen RPG gaming programming.
Palette 2 Pro – This attachment for the Prusa MK3S turns the printer from a monochromatic machine into a multicolor marvel, enabling it to print up to 4 colors at once.
EinScan-SP 3D scanner – Using a high definition camera, a turn table, and some specialized software, the EinScan-SP can take a physical object and turn it into a 3D model ready to be printed!
