• Filament, Printer usage and general pre file download process
  • Only use DMS orange ABS filament. There is one above the cabinets in or on the bin that will be used to house the completed parts.

• • Only print the parts on one of the three Bambu enclosed bambu printers (ABS requires enclosures).
  • There are tires for the polymaker cardboard ABS spools. If/when we complete an ABS spool move the tires to another ABS Spool. Note if filament is low load two ABS spools and start with lowest and bambu should pick up on the next full spool.

  • What if I only have time to print some of the parts IE 2 of 4 and have to leave?
    • In Jira add a comment with the number of completed and if you will return to finish later or if you wish someone else to finish.
      • IE I printed 2 of 4. Someone else can finish
      • IE I printed 2 of 4 and will be back later today to finish.
      • 
  • Do I need to change the infill, strength etc?
    • The files are .3mf and should have any Bambu settings that the designer used in crating their model.
  • Why is tracking in Jira important?
    • So there is a central place for print files and we can track what was printed, what is in progress /partially finished.
  • If I am printing a DMS project that that count agains my printers in use?
    • NO in general this does not count. However please be respectful of others printing / wanting to print.
