We cannot guarantee being able to print your request within your timeframe, as we have many requests for other courses and it all depends on where your request falls within the print queue. If you choose to use our printers instead of your own lab, keep in mind that Lyons has a small number of printers and we are a print service for everyone on campus. Thanks for your patience! Attention ENG 1P13 students If you have not submitted a request up to this point, we are sorry that we will not be able to print anything for you until the Spring/Summer term after the yearly maintenance has been completed on our 3D printers, which have been chugging along almost nonstop over the course of the school year.

Once we're through those, we will start on the general prints that have been requested. We will be focusing on getting through the course-related prints that have been submitted already, over the course of the next few weeks. March 31 update: 3D print submissions are being paused. We do not print overnight or on weekends. Printing is only available during Centre hours.

If you have questions about the service, please email the Lyons 3D printing team. Submit your request via the webform, and we will print it for you at no cost. The Lyons New Media Centre offers a 3D printing service available to all current McMaster students, staff, and faculty.
