-=== 3D Printer C - Prusa MK4 ===
-<callout title="Induction Required" type="danger" icon="true"> This equipment requires an induction prior to use. For your own safety and to avoid damage to the equipment do not attempt to use it until you have been inducted. </callout>
-<callout title="Crush / Entanglement / Burn Hazard" type="warning" icon="true"> This equipment is hazardous to the user or those around them, take care during use.</callout>
-=== Induction ===
-Inductions for the 3D printers are now available on the member portal (right-hand PC by the electronics bench). Tap your card/keyfob on the reader, select “Manage machine inductions”, and take the 3D printer quiz. You will be shown the padlock code on successful completion.
-PRINT FILES MUST BE SLICED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE MK4. If you try to print a file sliced for an MK3S on the MK4, you'll get a big red warning telling you that the file is sliced for the wrong printer. DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING, YOU WILL DAMAGE THE PRINT SHEET IRREPARABLY.
-General usage, filament and safety rules are the same as the other printers.
-Perhaps the biggest difference in terms of use is that it's very easy to print on different steel sheets. We have three:
-* smooth -- this is the same as the previous printers. It should only be used for PLA. If you're printing ABS, PETG or FLEX, then you *need* to use the textured sheet.
-* textured -- this is the strongest sheet and is a good choice for general printing in almost any filament. It has slightly lower bed adhesion than smooth when printing PLA, but only slightly. Remember -- you may also need glue stick when using sticky filaments.
-* satin -- this is for PLA only and gives a slightly different surface finish.
