After training, patrons aged 16+ sign a waiver and can book time to print independently with the library’s Prusa i3 MK3 that uses PETG filament.
Library staff do not print items for patrons — this program is all about empowering you to learn the full process. Support is available by appointment. Register for Training: To sign up for training or book time with our 3D printer and support volunteer, you can visit the Almonte Branch in person, email us at almontelib@missmillslibrary.com, or give us a call at 613-256-1037. Spots are limited!
New Rules & Registration Process for 3D Printing Classes at the Library
We are excited to announce updated guidelines for our 3D Printing Classes, designed to help you confidently explore and use this amazing technology! Patrons must now print their own objects after completing 3D printing training, library staff will no longer print for you. For that reason, the minimum age for attending 3D printing classes is 16. What you need to know:
Class Format
One-on-one sessions available on Saturdays at the Almonte Branch. Classes are open to ages 16+ and adults.
What You’ll Learn in the Class
During your 3D printing training, you’ll gain hands-on experience with:
3D Model Blueprints
Learn how to find and download 3D models online. Great free resources include Thingiverse.com, Printables.com, and Pinshape.com (for paid models).
3D Modeling Software
Interested in creating your own designs? Discover beginner-friendly tools like TinkerCAD, FreeCAD, and Blender. You’ll learn how to create and save designs as STL files, which define the shape of your object.
Slicing Software
STL files need to be converted into a format that the 3D printer can read. You’ll learn how to use Prusa Slicer to create G-code, the language that tells the printer what to do. Prusa Slicer is available for free and also installed on library computers.
Waiver & Independent Use
After completing the training, patrons must sign a waiver in order to use the 3D printer on their own and book time to print their projects.
Please note: Library staff will NOT print items for patrons. The goal of this program is to help you learn how to print independently. Support and troubleshooting available by appointment only (circulation desk staff cannot help with 3D printing troubleshooting).
Need Extra Help?
Free weekday support is available by appointment, ask your local branch for details.
Join our 3D Printing Group every first Sunday of the month at 11:30 AM at the Almonte Branch. It’s a great space to learn, share ideas, and meet other makers. More info below.
Cost

The session is scheduled for one hour but there is the option for follow up discussions afterwards.
All experience levels welcome.
The library’s printer is a Prusa i3 MK3 that uses PETG filament. FREE 3D printing at the library is funded by the Elizabeth Kelly Foundation www.ekellylibraryfoundation.ca.

A heart-pounding film that follows seasoned deep-sea divers as they battle the raging elements to rescue their crewmate trapped hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface.

Almonte branch – every 2nd & 4th Wednesday of the month, from 4-5pm
This is a casual Spanish conversation group and not a Spanish class. Some knowledge of Spanish is required to participate.

- Libby has Spanish e-books & e-audiobooks for all ages. Libby is a free download and borrowing is done with your MMPL library card. Here’s the FAQ on setting language preferences in Libby

A few online learning French resources suggested for beginners and others:
- Duolingo – fun, free app for learning languages
- Libby has French e-books & e-audiobooks for all ages. Libby is a free download and borrowing is done with your MMPL library card. Here’s the FAQ on setting language preferences in Libby
