Safety Rules
| Do not leave your print unattended | Watch your print at all times. Things can go horribly wrong quickly. |
|---|---|
| Use care around heated beds and hot ends | 3D printers use heat had have HOT parts |
Watch your spool for jams | Jammed filament ain't no fun for nobody. |
When things go horribly wrong tell someone | If we know what happened we have a better chance to fix it...or prevent it next time. |
Use care around heated beds and hot ends | 3D printing uses heat. Heated beds can be up to 100°C and hot ends up to 250°C. If not careful you will get burned. |
Do not attempt to adjust the printers | If you don't know what you're doing you can cause more harm than good. There is a support contact for each printer, or post your issue to the #3dprinting Slack channel. |
Do not change the printer's EEPROM settings | Your changes may work for you but mess it up for others. |
Keep metal objects (spatulas, pliers) away from the nozzle | Metal tools can scratch or damage soft brass print nozzles and other parts. |
Cancel your job immediately in case of unusual noises or smells! | Use common sense...if it sounds like ball bearings in a washing machine then it's probably not working right. |
| When (not if) the printer breaks... |
