Rules regarding handling and safety

  • You must comply with the handling and safety regulations included in the mandatory workshop.
  • You are forbidden to print items that are intended to harm others or are otherwise illegal.
  • The printer hood should be in place and the hatches closed to minimise noise and odour during printing.
  • You are responsible for the entire printing process (starting the printing process, that the printing proceeds normally and that it runs within the scheduled time).
  • Leave the workspaces and the 3D printer in such a condition that they are ready for the next person to print.
