 Tool Lead: Andrew Furst \\
 Contact: Andrewfurst@ucsb.edu
 ====Safety Concerns====
   * Both print heads and bed are heated during operation. Do not attempt to clean, remove, or adjust without allowing for adequate cool down time.
-  * Keep hands clear of printer during operation. Pause print before clearing or adjusting print.
+  * Keep hands clear of printer during operation. Pause print before clearing or adjusting part.
  ====Safe Operating Procedures Review====
-  - Launch Cura version 4 (blue icon)
+    - On the F270 printers computer, launch GrabCad Print
-  - From connected printers, select IW-Ultimaker3
+  - Select File -> New Project -> Add Models -> Import desired models
-  - Select File -> Open Files -> Open desired project (.STL file type)
+  - Move models around on virtual build tray so that models on a used build tray do not overlap any previously printed spots
-  - Using task bar on the left hand side, position model as desired
+  - the purge block and printed model should be placed close together to minimize print time
-  - From print settings, select slice height, infill percentage, and support
+  - Select "Print Settings" from the menu on the right hand side
-  - Support can be generated using ether nozzle, typically nozzle one holds build material with nozzle two printing with dissolvable support material.
+  - From menu, select desired slice height, and verify that the first layer material is set to support.
-  - Setting can be fined tuned using the "Custom" option from print settings
+  - Open and place build tray into F270, making sure that the tray is locked in place by pulling up on the front locking arm until arm is PARALLEL to build tray.
-  - Within custom settings, nozzle and build plate temps can be adjusted (build plate temps should be based off of build material)
+  - Select print, and send the job to the F270 3D printer
-  - Save the file from Cura on a thumb drive
+  - on the F270 touch screen, select your job, and then select print.
-  - Connect thumb drive to printer -> select desired file -> select print\\
-Note: Adjusting settings may lead to more (OR LESS) successful prints. Contact Workshop Wizard responsible for Ultimaker if print fails or knowledge of advanced settings is desired.
 ====Post Processing====
-  * If support was constructed from ABS carefully break away with pliers
+  * If support was constructed from dissoluble filament clean using the F270 Support Removal Apparatus which is filled with heated caustic chemicals. GLOVES, LAB COAT, AND FACE SHIELD MUST BE WORN
-  * If support was constructed from PVA soak part in warm water for several hours to dissolve support structure
+  * Build tray should be scraped clean and free of any support or build material then placed in the USED F270 tray drawer if printable space is left. Any material protruding from the build tray will damage print heads during the next print.
-====Maintenance====
+====Maintenance Schedule (see user maintenance page 80):====
-  * Bed should be cleaned with IPA between prints
+  * Clean oven chamber weekly
-  * Print heads and silicone head protector should be cleaned as needed
+  * Clean platen weekly
-  * Filament should be dried before use if printer has been idle for several weeks
+  * Inspect, wipe, and clean tip wipe assemblies monthly
-  * Bed leveling should be completed every time print cores are swapped
+  * Clean exterior of printer as needed
-  * Print cores should be swapped  or purged after clog or to change print line width. Used print heads should be kept for spare parts
+  * Clean touchscreen as needed
