 ====Job Setup==== ====Job Setup====
-  * Load your file into the print software on the computer adjacent to the printer (Cura for Ultimaker, GrabCad Print for F270). +  **At the Computer:**: 
-  * Ultimakermake sure print bed is clean +    -Load your STL file into the print software on the computer adjacent to the printer (Cura for Ultimaker, GrabCad Print for F270). 
-  * F270 make sure that there is enough room on an unwed build tray for your part, and that the build tray is secured in the printer with the locking arm horizontal. Build trays may be used until the entire build area has been printed on, but printed areas can not be reused. +    - Set Print Parameters
-  * Set print parameters (layer thickness, etc.) For the F270 the printer will print a raft before printing the model. Make sure first layer is set to support material or removal will be incredibly difficult. +      - Position the part on the build tray in a way that is conducive to 3D printing (flat side down, minimize overhangs etc..) 
-  Record the material used and print time in the online log along with the other job information requested. The print log should be on the desktop or https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScS3URUxoHOR62PdQeeSTAYg_suV061UsoFafrgoN0qn6DWYg/viewform. +      - Select appropriate layer or slice height (the more slices the higher the print resolution but the longer it takes to print) 
-  * Send the job to the printer from the computer +    - For Ultimaker: 
-  Start the job at the printer+      - Select "generate support" if necessary  
 +      - Check appropriate filament and bed temperatures (should be set if using standard filament load out) 
 +      - Send job to Ultimaker using USB drive  
 +    - For F270: 
 +      - The F270 the printer will print a raft before printing the model. Make sure first layer is set to support material or removal will be incredibly difficult. 
 +      - Send job to F270 over Ethernet

 +  **At the printer:** 
 +    - Ultimaker: 
 +      - Make sure print bed is clean 
 +    - F270:  
 +      - Make sure that there is enough room on an CLEAN build tray for your part, and that the build tray is secured in the printer with the locking arm horizontal. Build trays may be used until the entire build area has been printed on, but printed areas should ideally not be reused.
