Ender-3 Maintenance

The 3D printers at Hackberry Lab should be operated and serviced ONLY by trained lab assistants who know what they're doing, or failing that, can take accountability for their screw-ups.

This document is intended as a manual aimed at Hackberry lab assistants for guidance on maintaining the ever-growing fleet of printers. Knowledgeable lab assistants are encouraged to add their wisdom as more issues arise and new problems are solved.

This section is for maintenance tasks that should be performed at regular intervals.

Lab assistants should regularly ensure that the printer beds are leveled properly. Improperly-leveled beds cause print failure and damage to the beds and nozzles. Bed leveling can look different depending on whether or not a touch sensor is installed for automatic bed leveling.

This section is for maintenance tasks that should be performed periodically.
