Training & Problems
Training is currently in flux. To be trained on the 3D printers, please contact the 3D printing officer via the 3d-printing mailing list to set up meeting on an open night. Without prior arrangement, there is no guarantee that there will be a 3D printing trainer available during an open night, however.
For information on usage, tips and 3D printing stuff, see:
- Using MatterControl to print models, as well as
- A set of troubleshooting and maintenance steps.
