@3dtechs - want the logs for last users?

Is this related to the filament connection tubes?
Maybe it’s been a while since my 3d printer induction but I’d call the filament purges acceptable
Obviously nicer if it’s tidy. But is wiping/emptying this required after every print?

Perhaps now is a good time to post a reminder; Bambu inductions emphasise the importance of cleaning the 3d printers after use, especially waste filament.

By enforcing good habits we reduce the risk of stray filament going somewhere it can cause a problem.

With 2 very popular Bambu printers, 700+ members, the 3dtechs reasonably insist on a high level of care.

This was my fault sorry, some of that mess was mine. The person after me was new to 3d printing and needed some help with the slicer. and I got side tracked.

Not an excuse, I will do better.

Thanks for coming forward, understandable, and thanks Caterina for (presumably) cleaning up.

Getting side tracked comes with all good Makerspaces.

No problem!!

Hi Niall - that person you very kindly helped with the slicer was me! Thanks again for taking the time to help me, it was really appreciated and I take full responsibility for distracting you from the clean up!

Caterina - extremely sorry it was left in that state, I hope it didn’t cause you too much trouble before you started your work. I honestly thought I’d cleaned up after myself (putting the plate away, removing the spool I’d used etc) but didn’t think to look under the heatbed.. I’ll certainly know for next time.

@Niall_Casey and @Jtats, thank you for taking responsibility. We have all been there. With all the distractions in the space, it’s easy to lose track of things. :hugs:

@3dprinters, you must make sure the printer is free of debris before and after you have finished using it. The debris can get stuck in the machine, causing skipped steps or worse cause damage. Please be nice to the next person to use the machine. Clean up!
