Hazards

Safety measures

• Do not touch the printer nozzle or print bed when they are heating up or printing.

• Do not attempt to adjust your print while the print bed or nozzle is moving.

Proper Use

1. Prepare the Print Bed

• • • Remove any excess filament from previous prints.

    • If the print bed has fingerprint marks or dirt, clean it an alcohol wipe before heating.

2. Check Printer Status

• Ensure the "Fix me!" flag is not raised on the printer.

• If the flag is raised, use another printer—do not attempt to fix it.

3. Load Your 3D Model

• • • Slice your 3D model using the appropriate software.

    • Upload the sliced file in the G-code format to a USB stick and plug it into the right side of the 3D printer.

4. Start the Print

• Check the photo shown on the 3D printer display and ensure it is the correct part.

• Select Print on the printer’s interface.

• • • Ensure the image displayed matches your intended print before proceeding.

Cleanup

1. Do Not Remove the Print Plate

• Keep the print plate in place when removing your print.

2. Use a Spatula if Needed

• If the print is difficult to remove, carefully use a spatula to lift it off the plate.

3. Remove Test Line

• Peel off the test line from the front of the plate.

4. Dispose of Plastic Scraps

• Throw any plastic scraps or failed prints into the garbage.

5. Failed Prints

• If your print failed, consult with a teacher about the print settings you used, and raise the "Fix me!" flag if the print didn't fail due to improper setup.
