Intro
Etiquette:
- Join #fablab on Slack. When in doubt ask the question here.
- Budget 30 - 60 minutes of time to get a print setup, uploaded, and started.
- Budget 60 - 90 minutes of time to finish up a print, clean up, and put things away.
- Set your formlabs login to notify you when your print starts and completes. https://formlabs.com/dashboard/#settings/notifications
- Write down your name and start time on the DRY ERASE plaque on the printer. Mark it "DND" if you do not want others to handle your print. (Example: fragile things or items too big for the isopropyl bath.)
- If the printer is in use when you want to print. Upload your file to it and message the member currently printing to start your file when they are done.
- If the printer has a completed model still on the print bed and you want to print. Unless it's marked "DND", go ahead and carefully remove their print and place it in the isopropyl baths for 20 minutes total. Do not leave it in the baths. Then place it in the UV oven and set the timer for 1 hour.
- Check the Tank Heatmap for the best place to put your model on the print bed.
- Usable print area is 145 × 145 × 175 mm.
