An induction is not required for our Ender 3 and Ender 5 FDM printers.

Risk	Existing Mitigations	Severity / Likelihood
Minor burns due from the print nozzle and/or bed during operating.	Members are advised to do some self study and be aware of risks of FDM printing. In more serious cases, a burns gel kit is available in the Blue Room kitchenette. The next nearest burns kit is in the Kitchen on top of the microwave.	0/0
Electrical Shock due to damaged cabling or poor earthing.	Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is performed according to a schedule. A visual inspection of the appliance should take place prior to use of a soldering iron.	0/0
Ventilation	We would recommend leaving the window open while printing, although PLA and PETG poses fairly minimal risk. We do not allow printing of ABS in the space.	0/0
