- Check on the printer once every 30 minutes at a minimum. If you wish to leave a print unattended, please send staff a message via Discord and confirm they are aware of your print before leaving.
- Regularly check the object has not come off the build plate and it's still printing correctly.
¶ After Use
- Wait for the print bed to cool down before removing it.
- Gently flex the print bed to release your object. You may need to use a spatula to help it off.
- Clean up all bits of loose filament / plastic from around the print area, and gently use side cutters to remove excess plastic from the print bed.
