Everyone wanting to use the printers must receive training.
-
When someone wants training, post a request to this thread. This will be monitored by members of the work group who have volunteered to act as trainers (@KevMacD, @Lukeo, @ashley, @iMakeRobots). One of us will accept and arrange a time. Others may request to join a scheduled session but it is at the trainer’s discretion. When you have been trained, your request will be removed from this thread and you will receive the 3D Printer User badge.
-
Training is by donation to the VHS with a suggested amount of $30 (the cost of a roll of filament). You can put your donation in the Donation jar at the space or make a donation by Paypal.
-
Anyone can get trained. Non members may use the printer during the Tuesday open house if supervised by a member.
-
All print jobs must be monitored. You don’t have to sit and stare at it, but you must not leave the space while the printer is in operation. If you have a 10 hour print job, bring something else to work on and get comfy.
-
You may supply your own filament, provided the source has been approved by the 3D printer work group. Current approved vendors are Tinkerine, MG Chemicals, Filaments.ca, Voxel Factory, Seacans.
-
Members are encouraged to become trainers as they gain experience. At a minimum, you must have taken the basic training and have operated the printers at the space. If you wish to become a trainer, post here asking for one of the trainers to vouch for you. If no one objects after 1 week, you will be added to the list of trainers above.
This post is a wiki so others may amend the guidelines.
All previous discussion about the initial proposal has been moved to this thread.
