If it's after 11 PM, look to make sure there are still bags there, otherwise it's too late. Packs go inside the metal fence around the tree in front of 75 Christoper (the garbage people are very specific). |

= 3d Printer Maintenance = |
|||
Our 3d printers are used heavily. There are certain '''weekly''' tasks that need to be done, as well as repairs. Repairs can be found on the main [[3d Printers]] page. |
|||
=== Oiling === |
|||
{{Note|Remove the glass plate before oiling. If any oil gets onto the glass, you '''must''' clean it, or prints will fail.|error}} |
|||
At least weekly, the 3d printers need to be oiled. Find the Silicone oil in the 3d printing area, invert the bottle to apply oil to: |
|||
* cross beams supporting the head |
|||
* plate raise bar |
|||
* attenuation bars (sides, under the lid) |
|||
Actuate the print head to spread the oil around. |
|||
Turn on the printer. Navigate to 'Maintenance' -> 'Advanced' -> 'Raise Print Bed'. Once raised, select 'Lower Print Bed' from the same menu. |
|||
= Laser Maintenance = |
