Freeside was one of only 8 hackerspaces in the world to win this printer as part of the [http://www.lulzbot.com/?q=blog/announcement-winners-lulzbot-hackerspace-printer-giveaway LulzBot hackerspace printer giveaway]!
For 3D printing things!

* Log in with your credentials
* Log in with your credentials to the attached members-only terminal.
* Turn off machine when done
* Use the Elmer's Disappearing Purple glue stick to apply a thin layer of glue where your print will be. If there is already residue from past glue then you may not need to apply more. If you are having issues with print adhesion, remove the glass and wash it with warm water, and try again with the glue.
* The only tweaks you should need to make for your prints are layer thickness and infill style/density related.
* Please do not change the bed level or limit switches.
* Turn off machine when done.
 
== Basic Operational Knowledge ==
* How to home
* How to slice and send a job to it
* How to abort a failed job
* How to properly remove a print once it has completed
* How to load and unload filament (optional, but you'll be stuck with the loaded plastic type and color)
 
== Advanced Operational Knowledge ==
There are some more advanced tasks that not everyone needs to know to
print, but needs to know to troubleshoot:
 
* How to level a bed
* How to replace the covering on a bed
* How to tighten belts, fix misaligned axises, replace worn out parts, etc.
 
== Slic3r Preconfigured Profiles ==
There are several Print and Filament profiles that have been preconfigured for Slic3r. Use these before creating or modifying your own.
 
=== Print Profiles ===
The preconfigured print profiles will give you a good starting point for adjusting print quality. If you create a new profile, be sure you '''name it descriptively''' and include the name of the printer in the profile. The LulzBot prints best with layer heights between 0.3mm and 0.5mm. Lower layer heights will cause severe print issues!
 
* LulzBot-Default: Ideal configuration settings for print height, speed, and infill. Supports are disabled by default.
* LulzBot-Mechanical: Ideal for parts which will have mechanical use, IE Bowden extruder gears. This profile prints with more perimeters, more top and bottom layers, high honeycomb infill for strength. Expect long print jobs.
* LulzBot-Speedtest: Testing configuration for tuning printer speeds. Not guaranteed to work. Use at your own risk.
* LulzBot-Factory: Slic3r configuration provided by LulzBot.
 
=== Filament Profiles ===
There should be profiles configured for filament colors. Due to additives to the ABS, different colors of filament will work best at slightly different temperatures. ABS will print best between 205C and 235C, and the heated bed between 100C and 110C. If you are printing with a new color be sure you save a new profile for the name of the color.
 
* LulzBot-ABS-White: 235C extruder, 105C bed, 50% fan
* LulzBot-ABS-Black: 215C extruder, 105C bed, 40% fan
* LulzBot-ABS-Purple: ?C extruder, ?C bed, 40% fan
