Safety
While 3D Printers are quite safe machines, there are a few things to be aware of when using this equipment.
The hotend or nozzle is very hot (above 200 ℃!) so do not touch it when it is on.
The heated bed gets very warm as well-- please wait for it to cool to an appropriate temperature before removing your print.
As with any machine with moving parts, there is a danger of getting your fingers jammed when the motors are moving, so do not stick your hand in the printer while it is printing.
When removing parts from the bed with a spatula, always orient the tool away from yourself to avoid injury.
Some methods of support removal may cause small pieces of supports to break away. Beware of flying debris and consider wearing eye protection and gloves to protect the skin and eyes.

How do i Get Access?
The XL 3D printers require that you have passed a quiz to use. Once you have access to the space, by filling out the agreement form, you may reference this page and the First Print Tutorial to pass the canvas quiz and try your first print. You may enroll in the canvas course here.

How does it work?
This 3D printer uses the same FFF 3D printing method as our other 3D Printers, the only difference is it has 5 separate extruders! That means it can print up to 5 different colors for multi color or even multi material printing.
Using Prusa Slicer you can select what material is assigned to each extruder and each part in of your 3D Print. Check out the tutorial to learn how to make your first print on the XL.
