The largest of our 3D printers, the Lulzbot Taz 6, will be the featured equipment in the first Quad Thursday this month, so bring a flash drive with an object file, and watch the printer in action. Though if you can't make it, you can still watch our video of the Amazing Articulated Octopus being printed, from this file found on Yeggi. For full details on our 3D printing services, including technical specifications and links to free object files, visit our new 3D printing webpage. |

How-To: Kristopher's Cup Holder Most of the projects we've done on the 3D printers are essentially novelty items, things that are just for fun. Don't get us wrong--we all really love that octopus, but we were impressed with this project by Kristopher Thomas, who works at the Spanish Springs Library. He found a surprisingly practical use for the 3D printer--creating an insert to correct the overly generous sizing of the cup holder in his new car. |

Idea Box: Sew & Stitch/Wrap & Weave Explore textiles by weaving, sewing, and quilting. Use burlap, feathers, yarn, fabric, and your imagination. Make a colorful craft to take home, or experiment with a simple table top loom. Activities: Weave on burlap with feathers or yarn. Make a mini quilt with fabric squares and backing fabric. Make a coaster on a mini potholder loom. Create a cute owl with burlap and buttons. The Sew & Stitch/Wrap & Weave Idea Box will be at the Northwest Reno Library through September.
