TODO: complete instructions on use
 
* Log in with your credentials to the attached members-only terminal.
* Wipe the PEI surface with denatured alcohol to remove dust and skin oils which will prevent bed adhesion.
* Open up Cura. Select the print quality and filament type you are printing in. You can go into expert mode if you are confident enough, but the stock settings print great.
* Once your print is finished, '''wait''' for the bed to cool down. It will automatically push forward when it is at temperature. Then '''gently''' remove your print from the surface. Be careful not to scratch, peel, or damage the PEI surface!
* Turn off machine when done.
