==Consumables==
If using any consumables, link here to recommended providers or current pledges to purchase.

Filament options (3.0mm)
*ABS (lego brick plastic - prints at 190-230 DegC, requires heated bed at 100-110 DegC)
*PLA (biodegradable , based on food starch - prints at 185-190 DegC, optional heated bed, not hotter than 60 DegC)
*There are other 'specialist' filament, like wood effect, stone effect, nylon (can be coloured by clothes dye), etc

Loading Filament

=Training & instruction=
Training '''IS REQUIRED''' and is being carried out voluntarily by the current maintainer, more info on the separate [[3dprinter_training|training page]]

Please do not use the printer if you have not been trained, even if you think you know how to use it.

There are a number of files provided by Lulzbot with predefined settings. [https://www.dropbox.com/s/qymjrs1gn5jj7wa/3mm_pt5-nzl_pt3-lyr.ini setting 1] is for 0.3mm layers with a 60% infill. [https://www.dropbox.com/s/icq3cgntctamcha/3mm_pt5-nzl_pt4-lyr.ini setting 2] is for 0.4mm layers and 80% infill.

I would stick with the config in the training section until we conplete calibration.

== Cost for Printing ==
Using the above tool, calculate the cost of the print, add £1.20 per hour of printing, place it in the box provided and mark it on the Log Book

==Training==
The config file for Slic3r provided during training is [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18407938/lulzbot_a0-101_cnfig.ini here]

==Modification==
added a fan to improve printing for small areas. Note that using the fan will stop the print from sticking properly with ABS. Under Filament Settings in Slic3r, under Cooling, use the "Disable fan for the first:" to something over 20 layers (depending on number of print layers).

The original fan mount breaks very easily. Additionally, it doubles as the clamp for the X axis belt and has no teeth so the belt comes loose easily. The clamp/mount has been replaced:
