As the busy holiday season ramps up, we want to make sure that all members have an opportunity to use our shared resources to work on their projects. To that end, we’re going to institute a new policy for booking the Prusa XL printer. This policy is only for the XL. The Prusa MK3S+ and PolyPrinter are not covered by it.
You may reserve up to 24 hours a week in Skedda. One of the reasons to use the XL is that it’s capable of really large prints, so if you have a single object that will take more than 24 hours to print, book 24 hours and send an email to 3dprinters@asmbly.org and stewards will try to book some additional time for you, if it’s available.
Please start printing within 2 hours of the start of your booking. If the printer is idle for longer than that, your booking is subject to being cancelled. If you are not present 30 minutes after the start of your booking, other members are allowed to start prints in your reserved time, but must cancel them if you ask within the 2 hours.
Please end your reservation early in Skedda if your print finishes early. If your print finishes and you don’t claim it within 30 minutes, another member may use the remainder of your reservation on a first-come-first-served basis.
