3D print

Get ready to print

• • Wash your hands for 20 seconds. Yes, even we are telling you to do this!

  • Did you wash your hands? Thank you :)

  • Put on gloves and a facemask.

  • Rub or spray some 60-70% alcohol on your gloved hands. Or, you can wash your gloved hands using soap and hot water. The goal is to remove or inactivate virus that might be there.

  • Wipe all work surfaces, machine areas, staging areas and tools with household cleaner or 60-70% alcohol.

  • Prep build trays by washing with soap and water OR spraying with 60-70% alcohol

  • Preheat the machine

Once printing starts:

• • Minimize contact between the printer and humans, including yourself!

After the print is complete:

• Allow parts to cool as usual

• Wash your hands for 20 seconds

• Put on gloves and a face mask. Rub or spray some of the disinfectant on your gloved hands. Or, you can wash your gloved hands using soap and hot water. Again, the goal is to remove or inactivate any virus that might be there.

• Examine your prints, using the rubric that is available online. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EIoRQNk4CRQ9VlQT0zodL8NWwtJ4a9XVdoqNsvXAsc8/edit

• If the prints do not meet these standards, decide if you can improve them with some light post-processing. If not, discard and seek assistance in improving your product. Note that many parts are being submitted that have serious defects and are unusable.

• Place the finished items into a clear plastic bag. Ziplocks are ideal, because they allow the parts to be examined and sorted.

• Once parts are in a bag, set aside in a clean location.

Each bag will need: 5, 10, or 20 headbands and NO stiffeners (update 4/6/2020)
