Join the Library Foundation of Los Angeles.For more information click here or talk to your local librarian. Friends groups raise money for improvements to their library through memberships, used book sales and other activities. There is a “Friends of the Library” group for most branch libraries and departments of the Central Library. You can support the Los Angeles Public Library in several ways: With more people than ever before using the library-a record 17 million last year alone-your support helps the Library provide people with the resources they need to succeed and thrive. Through its Central Library and 72 branches, the Los Angeles Public Library provides free and easy access to information, ideas, books and technology that enrich, educate and empower every individual in our city's diverse communities. The Los Angeles Public Library serves the largest most diverse population of any library in the United States. But it allows you to design and make your own objects. Between creating a model, printing it, and cleaning the print, a finished 3D print takes a fair bit of time and attention. Some people are happy with them right off the build plate. Some people sand their prints, some people paint them.

There are a variety of tools you can use on the surface of a completed print, to get the effect you want. You may want to clean your print further, by removing supports, rafts, and threads. You need to be present for the start of the print job, but, depending on the print time, you might not be there for the end. When your print is completed, staff remove it from the build plate and put it aside for you. Then, layer by layer, the print builds on top of that. Once your print is loaded into the 3D printer, the printer starts by heating up the tip of the extruder and laying down lines of filament that will become the raft. Filament Spindle: the place where the maker, or staff in this case, puts the spool of filament.

Filament Drawer: the thing that slides out to allow filament to be loaded on to the filament spindle.

Filament Guide Tube: a plastic tube that guides the end of the PLA filament to the extruder.

Gantry: moves the extruder assembly where in needs to be to extrude.

Don’t stick your finger under it, while printing. The Extruder Assembly: the extruder is the part of the printer that moves the filament to where it needs to be and heats it up before-you know-extruding it onto the build plate.The printer will usually start by laying down a raft on the build plate. Your model cannot have dimensions larger than the length and width of the build plate. The Build Plate: is where your print job starts, the ground floor of your print.To the right of the Control Panel is the port the thumb drive is inserted into. The Control Panel lets the maker select the file to be printed and gives information about the print job.
