  • While the Dremel 3D Printer support the usage of non-PLA materials, the FEDC requires PLA usage on all Dremel 3D printers. Non-PLA privileges may be granted on a case by case basis due to the limited amount of printers available.
  • While the Dremel 3D Printer's website says to use 220°C for PLA, a safer temperature to set the slicer at is 205°C. Setting the temperature to 205°C ensures a smoother print is made.
  • Unsafe practice or obvious abuse of equipment constitutes a danger to people and damages equipment. Therefore the Fischer EDC Staff or any person observing an unsafe act should stop unsafe practices in the Design Center. Students violating any of these rules will have their 3D Printing privileges revoked for a period of at least two weeks. Longer periods may be assessed, depending upon the judgment of the Engineering Technician and the FEDC Manager.
