Hello all, For the first time, I have a 3D project with an actual deadline, so I will need to book the machines. Can someone remind me of the booking rules (if there are any) Thank you in advance!

Had a check. 2 PETG-HF, one black mostly full, one yellow, mostly full. 2 PETG-translucent, one clear, mostly full, one green tint, half used 1 PETG-CF , black, unopened 0 PETG-basic I’m about 95% sure PETG-HF is pretty much basic and can be used for anything basic can be. There’s no entry for …

Thank you, Andy, but this part is clear. There is another booking for Saturday, so I have booked the printer on that calendar event. I was just wondering if there are any rules or restrictions specific to the X1 carbons. Also, are both machines operational?

Not a tech, but there was no specific rule about long prints in my induction, other than you need to be in the building for the whole print. Usually, if a print goes bad, it just wastes your own time and money instead of setting the whole space on fire, but there was an incident where a nozzle was d…

Thank you so much. Yes I do have shutter access. And the print time needed is about 2 hours, I panic booked a longer slot while waiting to know more about the rules, I will amend the booking.

Oh yeah, 2 hours is what I’d consider fairly normal and fair use of the tool you pay your membership for. I’d book 3 hours, to account for anything going wrong.

@stefanoromano check that you have tool control access, I have done induction more than an year ago and last time I’ve tried the access was removed (probably this was done because my induction was on the old 3d printer). Didn’t sorted this out yet…

Thank you mate, I have done plenty of printing, relatively often. But it has always been for the space, and with no deadline. This time I have a guest over, and I need to make reasonably sure it goes smoothly.

On that note, does anyone know if we have PETG basic available in stock? Or could someone check for me, please? (black preferred, but I’m open-minded)

There were about 4, maybe 5 spools of regular PETG, 2 transparent last time I checked. I think. Can’t remember the colors though.

Hi @stefanoromano,

There is no PETG basic, Bambu has stopped making it. We have PETG-HF and PETG-CF in black. Both are opened so you may want to put them in the dryer before printing.
