= 3D Printer Training =

This page documents the process for being trained on the 3D Printer, and the list of members who have completed that training.

== Summary ==

Training takes place in three main steps:
* Group Training of 1-4 members, going through the equipment and how to use it (~1hr)
* Individual Training Task, where an individual member is set a task to complete to prove and improve understanding (~30min each)
* Project Oversight, where more experienced users oversee the projects being undertaken when cutting (first 2-3 projects)

Training on the 3D Printer is run by the 3D Printer Owners. The 3D Printer Owners are a group of people responsible for maintaining and training on the 3D Printer, and hence have been trained to train, and trained to perform the weekly and monthly maintenance on the 3D Printer.

== Booking ==

This is no longer handled here on the wiki.

For discussing and arranging slots, please use the mailing list thread
[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/cammakespace/training/cammakespace/-mfP-5cif6g/-jGHstuHXJQJ]. New training sessions will be announced on the Meetup group.

Notes:
* You can only be trained if you have RSVP'd to a Meetup session

'''Delayed training blacklist:'''

Now on the wall in Makespace, near the 3D printers.

= Training Cheatsheet =

The training structure and prompt sheet. Please note, this is used by the 3D Printer Owners as a prompt to ensure training is executed in a consistent and complete fashion is included on this page; this does not constitute and is not a substitue for the training itself.

== Group Training ==

The group training introduction structure, suitable for 1-5 members at a time in a 1 hr session.

3D Printing Induction syllabus:

how 3D printing works

safety
burn hazard
nozzle and platter
unit may move unexpectedly
avoid prolonged exposure to ABS fumes

damage to machine
kapton
is fragile - don't use scraper!
is expensive
needs to be clean
don't leave the machine unattended
heater could stick on if software crashes, for example

general
SD card eccentricities
keep lid on when printing
switch off when finished

PLA vs ABS
how to tell the difference
different temperature
biodegradable
need to change temperature profiles!

unload/load,
different axles for different spools
spool from under reel
beware of wrapping round axle!
colours (no need to run out all because test strip does that)
setting PLA/ABS
cut off lump

printing
preheating
if model stuck, wait to cool
keep an eye on it. can go strange half way!

levelling
not often needed
symptoms of unlevelness
first layer too thin or varying thickness
part not sticking
worst case: head touching bed
be careful not to damage kapton

software/workflow
(it is proposed that the course should not include detailed introduction to the
software, as this is mostly obvious, can freely be downloaded, and is well documented) - if there is high demand, consider running a software training course
scaffolding
setting colours

multicolour
can't do scaffolding and multicolour - maybe not true anymore?
issues with mixed materials

other stuff
strength characteristics - orientation is important
don't use fine
don't leave the room
paying

== Individual Training Task ==

The individual task to get familiar, prompt questions and check understanding:

Task
* Make something?
* Should demonstrate import, setup, position and run
* possible examples (around 10m printing time)
** plain_game_tokes 1/2/5
** SpaceShuttle-small
** CookieCutter_apple_small

Steps
* Set individual to work, don't prompt but do answer questions (or pose if needed)
* Talk through design once done, question/check things etc
* Proceed to printing (watch carefully all steps)

Assuming all ok:
* Get them to read the health and safety notes about operation and materials
* Add to the trained member list!

== Project Oversight ==

For next 2-3 projects, ensure member will find another more experienced trained user to support them (second pair of eyes)
