The Maverick Youth Zone is entirely dedicated to offering a safe and positive environment for youth ages 12 to 18 to meet, socialize or just hang out.
The Zone houses books tailored to teenage interests, board games, free Wi-Fi for mobile devices, and a lounge area.
The Youth Zone includes a 3D printer for teens to use! This maker tool combines art and science.
The 3D printer uses a melted plastic filament to create objects which have been designed on a computer.
Our printer works with PLA (PolyLactic Acid) material. Following the directions of a particular design, known as G-code, the PLA passes through a nozzle. The code directs the printer to form the object, layer upon layer.
In a matter of seconds, the plastic cools off. Then, your object is ready to go!
Those wishing to use 3D printing service are expected to take an orientation prior to printing.
Schedule a time with staff to begin printing an object yourself by stopping into the library or calling 830-334-2496.
