Bring your filament: The "unobtainium" filaments are free to use. Give, and you shall receive.
Stick around for the first few layers: First-layer adhesion is critical to printing success.
Unload when done: Remove your prints and unload the filament. For overnight prints, please leave a note on Slack with instructions.
Report any issues: We can't fix it if we don't know it's broken.
