3D Printing Space Charter

Space Description

  • This space is dedicated to 3D printing by fused filament deposition (FDM).
  • It allows the creation of prototypes, technical or decorative parts using printers accessible to everyone after training.
  • You will find several FDM printers, post-processing tools, and different types of filaments.

Safety Rules

  • No eating or drinking in the space, to protect the machines and avoid any incident.
  • Never intervene on a machine without having been trained or without validation from a referent.
  • Never touch the nozzle or heated bed during or just after printing: they can exceed 200 °C.
  • Do not open or move a printer while it is printing

Best Practices and Recommendations

  • Make sure to select in the slicer the filament that matches the one loaded on the printer.
  • Do not touch the post-its on the printers.
  • Make sure the bed is clean. Clean if necessary with isopropyl alcohol.
  • Monitor the first layers: if the filament does not adhere, stop the print immediately.
  • Prepare and slice STL files in advance.
  • After each filament loading, update the corresponding information on the printer.
  • Report any anomaly (clogged nozzle, irregular extrusion, etc.).
  • Never remove a part while hot: wait for the bed to cool or use a suitable spatula.
  • Store spools in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption.

Available Equipment

  • FDM 3D printers:
    • 7 Bambulab A1 mini
    • 2 Bambulab P1S
  • Filament spools: PLA, PETG, TPU (others upon validation)
  • Computer with slicing software installed
  • Spatulas, wire cutters

Storage and Cleaning

  • Clean the print surface if necessary (residues, glue, etc.).
  • Put away used tools (spatulas, pliers, cutters) in their dedicated place.
  • Store spools on the rails under the printers or in the shelves provided for this purpose.

In Case of Problem

  • Report any breakdown or anomaly to a manager or technical referent.
  • Do not force a part, cover, or nozzle: any blockage must be diagnosed calmly.
  • Indicate on a post-it if a printer is out of order, and do not restart it until the issue has been resolved.
