Galaxy Brain Printing Library
The Galaxy Brain Printing Library is a community resource established to explore the principles of "Library Socialism," a political theory inspired by the public library model. It operates in Alameda and San Francisco counties, providing access to a risograph printer and two 3D printers under specific conditions.
Resources and Access
- Equipment: The library includes a risograph named "Animal" and two 3D printers, "Rizzo" and "Rowlf."
- Usage Limits: Members can annually print up to 100 two-color sheets (4 masters) on Animal and use the 3D printers for a total of 3 hours.
- Eligibility: Membership is open to residents of Alameda or San Francisco counties.
Policies
- Design Licensing: Members may print items in the public domain or from approved platforms like Thingiverse. Personal designs must be licensed under CC0 (public domain).
- Membership Fees: Any resident of Alameda or San Francisco counties, where the two Galaxy Brain principals are based, is eligible to be a member. Membership is paid for by paying taxes, and therefore providing services that Galaxy Brain benefits from. Other costs are subsidized by Galaxy Brain.
Membership Process
Residents must email their details, including proof of address, to Galaxy Brain. Members are responsible for picking up their prints at the library’s offices.
Additional Services
For needs beyond allotted library time, members can hire Galaxy Brain for custom printing services.
