This is also a thing in Australian Libraries (especially those in capital cities).

You can book the machines/stations out for periods of time, using your library card/account.

You have to do a safety induction to be able to book the more dangerous tools.

They also sell materials, or you can BYO.

I've never seen these, do you know of any in Sydney? A quick Google turns up some 3d printing services in other towns/cities but nothing like this

Darling Square has "The Exchange"[1] which has Solder stations, 3D printers and a laser cutter but I'm unsure how to book time with them. Might be worth giving the library a call.
