You can use different types of filament within reason but consider the heat of the bed. | **Standard settings:** 1st colour, 2nd supports. These can be modified in the settings.

| + | Only two 3D printers should be used by a member at any one time. If it is especially busy consider using one to be considerate of others. | ||

| + | ===== Filament ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | All Hackspace 3D printers use 1.75mm filament. Most filaments such as PLA, ABS, PETG, FLEX etc are supported. Do not use filaments that require a nozzle temperature above 285°C such as polycarbonate. | ||
| + | Abrasive filaments can be used on toolhead 1 as it has an ObXidian nozzle, but printing them on any other toolhead will wear down and break the brass nozzles. Examples of abrasive filaments are CF / GF filaments, wood and metal filaments, and glow in the dark filaments. Please also structure your multi-material prints to avoid printing with the brass nozzles on top of an abrasive filament. | ||

| * 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. | * textured -- this is the strongest sheet and is a good choice for general printing in almost any filament.

| + | Toolhead 1 is equipped with a 0.4 mm ObXidian nozzle, allowing it to print with abrasive materials such as CF/GF filled filaments. **DO NOT PRINT THESE WITH OTHER NOZZLES, ONLY TOOLHEAD 1.** It will work with all other filaments on the approved list as well and should be all around more durable than the other nozzles. | ||

| + | ===== Common Problems ===== | ||
| + | ==== Tool Offsets ==== | ||
| + | The tools can get slightly out of line with each other. This can be particularly noticeable on the z axis -- when multi material printing, you might find that one tool prints slightly higher or lower than the others. If this happens, you can re-run the tool offset calibration wizard: https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Bed adhesion ==== | ||
| + | As the printer isn't enclosed, it's prone to getting dust on the bed, and as it's a bigger bed anyway, it takes more cleaning. You might find that it takes noticeably more time to fully clean the bed. If you're having problems with bed adhesion, make sure it's very thoroughly cleaned. | ||
