== Status == | |||
11/27/16 - Tested printer with random yellow PLA, resulting in poor print quality. Suspect that PLA may be bad, as it snaps instead of bending. Going to test with different PLA. --[[User:Skynaya|Skynaya]] ([[User talk:Skynaya|talk]]) 11:36, 28 November 2016 (CST) | |||
== Authorization == | |||
Under construction. Ask CNC Area Host. No regularly scheduled authorizations. Authorization sessions can be arranged for 3 or more members as required. If you want to schedule an authorization session, find 2 or more other people and email the CNC Area Host for referral to an authorizer. | |||
== Operation == | |||
* Turn the printer off when you are no longer using it. | |||
