3. Only trained Peterson Library staff will operate 3D printers. Patrons are not permitted to operate, calibrate, or otherwise manipulate equipment.
4. Patrons are limited to one print request per week, and individual print jobs may not exceed 5 hours. Requests made outside of these parameters will be considered on a case-by-case basis, at the discretion of Peterson Library staff.
