Shu set up the 3D printer and printed the model I sent by email. She was friendly and helpful. While we waited for the part to finish, she pointed out the many other projects that have been printed. And she pointed out the other tools, such as the laser cutter and Cricut products.

Erin and Shu, were wonderfully helpful and knowledgable. They taught me a lot about the 3D printer and the laser engraver. They are a real asset to the library. Thanks to both them.
