Makerspace

At the New City Library Maker Space, we aim to bring STEM resources to our patrons. The Maker Space focuses on anyone who wants to learn from young adults to retirees. While we focus our space on 3D printing, vinyl cutting, coding, and circuitry, we are always looking for new technologies to bring into the maker space. Our classes are for any skill level, so you can start from the beginning or polish your existing skills.

3D Printing
The New City Library Maker Space uses a Raise3d E2 printer as well as an Afinia H800 3D printer. We exclusively use PLA (polylactic acid) filament which is made from renewable resources, typically corn starch, tapioca root, or sugarcane.

You can bring your original design in .STL format on a USB stick to the Maker Space by appointment or at our Open Hours on Friday from 2pm – 4pm and the fourth Saturday of the month from 2:30pm-4:30pm. We offer a seven day turn around for all prints. You can also send your .STL file to [email protected] for printing. Please reach out to [email protected] for any question regarding the Maker Space.

Coding
The New City Library Maker Space hosts coding programs to educate patrons on the infinite possibilities of coding. Designed to be your first stop in coding, we aim to provide context for building your skills in coding. If you have no coding experience, we would like to help you take your first steps to realizing the potential of coding.

Digital Drop-in
Need help with your smartphone, laptop, tablet? Want to learn more about eBooks and digital audiobooks? Our digital navigators are here to help.
Drop by on a Friday between 11-1 and meet our team.

Vinyl Cutting
The New City Library Maker Space uses an Graphtec CE6000-40 15″ Cutter.
We offer introduction classes where you can use Graphtec software and see our vinyl cutter in action.

There is also a Cricut Maker. With this machine you can work with vinyl, card stock, fabric, and much more.
Check our calendar for classes or contact the makerspace if you are ready to have your project cut.

You can email your designs to [email protected] for cutting. We offer a seven day turn around for all prints.
