== Training == | |||
Follow the [[Quick Start Guide - 3D Printing|3D Printing Quick Start Guide]], and ask a member of staff if you get stuck. | |||
== Usage == | |||
=== Build plates === | |||
There are a variety of build plates available, but the most commonly used combination is loaded into the printer most of the time. Use the Cool Plate side for printing with PLA, and the Engineering Plate side for printing with materials like PA-CF, ABS etc. | |||
The printer detects which build plate is loaded and compares it to the build plate it is expecting in the sliced g-code file. If it starts complaining, check you've got it the right way around! | |||
The build plate is held to the bed magnetically. To remove it simply pull up, to replace use the guides in the back and slide the plate in at a slight angle until it is seated in the correct position. | |||
=== Loading files === | |||
There is a micro-SD card located on the right of the control touch screen. Push it gently to pop it out. | |||
Insert this micro-SD into the card reader on one of the Maker Space PC, then save your print file to it from Bambu Studio. | |||
=== Starting a print === | |||
* Insert the micro-SD card into the side of the touch panel control. It will only fit in one orientation, so don't force it. | |||
* Select the "folder" icon on the left hand side. | |||
* Choose the Micro-SD Card tab. | |||
* Select your file from the list by tapping on it. | |||
* You can change the filament you are printing with from this screen if needed. | |||
* Select Print Now. | |||
=== Removing prints === | |||
Wait for the printer to cool, then carefully remove the build plate from the machine. Gently flex the build plate to pop the parts off. | |||
Clean up any extruded material, including the calibration lines. | |||
'''Don't use a metal scraper, use one of the printed mini scrapers.''' | |||
