| 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.

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.
