- | ===== Costs ===== | ||

- | ^Material^Members/ | ||
- | |PLA|£0.30/ | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Materials ===== | ||
- | |||
- | See [[3dprinters# | ||
- | |||
- | The printer can be used for printing with //PLA// or //PETG// filament, with a //1.75mm// diameter.\\ | ||
- | Other filaments have to be discussed on the mailing list. If you wish to print with ABS then additional ventilation will be required to deal with styrene fumes. | ||
- | |||
- | //TPU// or //TPE// flexible filaments (such as NinjaFlex) may be used but require use of talcum powder or painters tape on the PEI print surface.\\ | ||
- | __PEI SHEET WILL GET DAMAGED IN CASE YOU PRINT TPU DIRECTLY ON IT!!!__ | ||
- | |||
- | Use of your own filament is only allowed with a previous discussion with other members to prevent usage of low quality or non-suitable filament. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Rules ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * Do not hack. The 3D printer is a tool, not a project. (This includes installing custom firmware or anything that you may consider **upgrading**) | ||
- | * Use material supplied by the lab. | ||
- | * If you want to use your own material, it must be of good quality and approved before use (post to the members list). | ||
- | * If you want to use ABS (or other materials which produce fumes) you must relocate the printer to somewhere with good ventilation, | ||
- | * Wait for the bed to cool before attempting to remove a print | ||
- | * Send an email to the mailing list in advance before doing a long print | ||
- | * Do not use sharp tools to remove a print from the bed. You could damage the PEI sheet. | ||
- | * Do not user gcode generated for other printers on this printer | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Loan rules ==== | ||
- | |||
- | As the owner of the printer David reserves the right to take the printer out of the lab for few days or print really long prints.\\ | ||
- | It's unlikely this will ever happen without a prior warning on the mailing list. Unless it's a case of dire printing emergency!!! | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Software ===== | ||
- | |||
- | You can use two different slicers with the Prusa. | ||

- | |||
- | |||
- | If you wish to use a different slicer you can ask on the mailing list. But unless you have a very good reason to use a different one it's advised to stick with the listed options. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Calibration ===== | ||
- | |||
- | The Prusa MK2 will automatically calibrate before every print.\\ | ||
- | Do not use the calibration option on your own without a previous discussion on the mailing list. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Firmware ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Printer is using an unmodified version of the the original Prusa MK2 firmware. We have no intention of changing this. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Printing Instructions ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Unless you are experienced with 3D printing it is highly recommended that you ask on the mailing list for help with your first few prints. | ||
- | |||
- | If you want some guidance here is a perfect quick start guide from Prusa Research: https:// | ||
- | |||
- | David is politely asking that you train yourself on the Ultimaker 2 before touching his printer. | ||
