Ender 3 - Bert

Summary

[Getting Started Guide]

Basic before and after printer setup.

You might need to do the steps below for yourself of someone remote asking if anyone in the space can setup the printer.

• Clearing a print It's normal for a completed print to be stuck on the bed with significate resistance to let go. Best practice to encourage it to release is to use the bed knife to pry a corning until it starts to release. Avoid pulling up or weighting down the print bed as it can become out of calibration. It is best to let the bed cool down first. Remember to scrape any areas of the bed that have high spots of glue. If the previous print is yours you can wash any glue stick off with hot water. If it is someone else's print you can set it aside and send them a picture in PM.

• Prepping the bed Both Bert and Ernie have beds that need a little help with adhesion. Use the preview of your part on the bed (in slice software) to apply childrens glue stick to that area of the bed.
