We currently use a Flashforge for the 3D printer we keep out on the floor. We pre-load it every month with what we call "quick prints". We pick out a theme with prints that take less than 10 minutes. Patrons can select their desired print and take them home
for free. </div>

When we first purchased it, it struggled a bit to keep up with the frequency of use, but we have ironed out those issues. We shut it off every night and pull it for monthly maintenance and that seems to help quite a bit. </div>

We also have a Bambu printer that we use for in house projects and patron requests that is more heavy duty, but the display screen is not user friendly, which is why we didn't purchase for use of quick prints. </div>
