Basic usage info
'''If you do not know how to use a 3D printer, do not use the printers without asking for help!''' Message the #3dprinters Slack channel and someone can train you.
SSI uses Prusa i3 MK3S printers. The preferred slicing software is PrusaSlicer, which can be downloaded [https://www.prusa3d.com/page/prusaslicer_424/ here].
=== Printer etiquette ===
* If switching filament thread the loose end of the filament through the holes in the spool so that it doesn't become tangled
* If a printer is having issues put a sign on it and alert the #3dprinters channel
* Clean up any failed prints
* Any hygroscopic filaments such as Nylon and TPU should be stored in the low-humidity PolyBox to keep them in good condition

* Make sure to clean the bed with rubbing alcohol before each print to improve bed adhesion
* Double check your slicer settings are set for the type of filament you are using
