This innovation presents the design of a 3D mount aimed at enhancing the stability of 3D printers used in library makerspaces and learning environments. Instability caused by vibrations and structural movement often leads to poor print quality and reduced dimensional accuracy, which can affect hands-on learning activities and user experience. The proposed 3D mount is designed using computer-aided design tools to improve rigidity, minimize vibrations, and securely support key printer components. Optimized for additive manufacturing, the mount is easy to fabricate and compatible with common desktop 3D printers typically available in libraries. By improving print accuracy, surface quality, and operational reliability, this innovation supports libraries’ roles in providing accessible, cost-effective technological resources, fostering digital literacy, innovation, and experiential learning among users.
