General Rules

• Reserve Time! For the printers, reserve time after your print starts on the Reserve Time page.
• Always Watch the First Layer! If a print doesn't start well, it's not going to end well.
  • If a print has more delicate features or overhangs that you think has a chance to fail, watch it more closely and check in on it.
• Do not log in to your personal Bambu account! If you wish to download files through their portal, please do so in the web browser or on your own computer. Logging into the Bambu software on the shared computers will change the standard settings other members are accustomed to and create confusion.
• Double-check your filament choice before printing! Make sure that all these match: the filament loaded in the machine, the material type in the Prepare screen in the Bambu software, and the final print screen when it is confirming what printer and which AMS slot you wish to use.
• Notes on Build Plates:
  • Textured plate - good for PLA and most plastics. The rough surface helps plastic hold on. Do not use glue on these.
  • Smooth plate - good for ABS, Nylon, and more difficult high-temp materials. Usually needs a thin layer of gluestick to help parts adhere.
  • Cleaning the plates - use soap and water or isopropyl alcohol to clean reside that may prevent prints from sticking to the bed.

Troubleshooting

The printers have a comprehensive system that shows an error code for many situations. You can look these codes up on BambuLab's website at the link below, and you will find instructions on how to fix almost everything.

HMS Error Codes - look up errors displayed on the printer when they occur to find troubleshooting instructions

Common Issues:

• Filament jam
  • If the filament roll is getting stuck in the AMS:
    • Roll is almost empty: try adding a desiccant pod in the inner space of the spool to help weight it down. When the spool is almost empty it becomes very easy for it to tip inside the AMS because it is so light.
• Print not sticking
  • If using a textured plate
    • Clean the plate with soap and water. Dry thoroughly. Try print again.
  • If using a smooth plate
    • Add a thin layer of glue stick and let it dry. Try print again.
