You need to train staff how to use, service, and do light maintenance on the 3-D printers. You need to dedicate staff to supervise people using them and answer questions, as well as ensure patrons aren't using them incorrectly or monopolizing them. You need to have service contracts to maintain them periodically, and given constant or standard innovation, you may have to replace them every ten years or less entirely. If you pick poorly, you may not be able to use them effectively at all. These things are not sustainable long term.
