1. Use the 3D printer computer in the Media Lab to visit www.thingiverse.com and search for an object to print.
2. Download the file into the 3D printing software to adjust the size and settings, and start printing.

The larger and more complex the object, the longer it takes to print. See the 3D printing guidelines available at the library for more detailed instructions, or ask staff to get you started.
