 +  * Do not touch the nozzle or heatbed when the printer is printing or warming up. The nozzle can reach 300°C and the heatbed can reach over 100°C.
 +  * Supervise at least the first few layers of the print and notify on the forum in the "long 3D print notifications" chat if you are going to leave the printer unattended for a significant amount of time.
 +  * Report problems on the forum as soon as they arise. Do not attempt to disassemble the 3D printers unless you have been authorised to do so.
 +  * ABS, ASA, HIPS, PA filament should not be used without additional advanced filtration system - the bench top ikea filtration is not suitable. Please speak to committee well in advanced if this is something you are looking to use.

 +===== USB Format =====
 +When loading G-code from a USB stick the Prusa 3d printers are only set up to support FAT32 file systems and the partition table should also be MBR.
 +If your USB stick works fine on a computer but isn't loaded by the printer, the most common issues are:
 +  * It's formatted as exFAT rather than FAT32
 +  * It's using a GUID partition table rather than MBR
 +
 +For full details on why and recommended formatting tools on different operating systems please see Prusa's article on the subject.

Do not use filaments that require a nozzle temperature above 285°C such as polycarbonate.
 Abrasive filaments should not be used on this printer but can be used on tool 1 of the Prusa XL. 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.  Abrasive filaments should not be used on this printer but can be used on tool 1 of the Prusa XL.
