Hello all, At the City of Commerce Libraries we have two 3D printers, one at our main branch and the other at one of our smaller branches. We currently are having difficulties at our main branch keeping up with the demand (we're averaging 60 prints per month). One of our constraints is that we allow print jobs that only take six hours (at most) to print. We are open: Monday through Thursday, 10AM - 8PM. Friday 10AM - 6PM. Saturday 10AM - 2:00PM. I ask my department staff to stop printing 30 minutes before closing to focus on closing procedures. And, we typically start printing at 9:30AM, Monday through Friday. That gives us ten hours to print Monday through Thursday, and 8 hours to print Friday. We typically do not print on Saturdays since we have minimal staff (all part time). The problem we are experiencing is a back log of prints every month that carry into the next month. It's a very popular service for us. Additionally, we use the 3D printer for staff projects (like bookmarks for a program). So, for those of you who have 3D printers and use them for patron/staff prints, how have you dealt with this type of demand? I could use some ideas and strategies. Sincerely, Luis [cid:5080925c-83a6-4f16-9407-41e209a040c3]
