3D Printer Booking Policies

From Asmbly Wiki
  1. Time booked for 3D printing in Skedda does not count against your weekly Asmbly hours, but time on the XL is limited to 48 hours per week. If you want to print a large object that will take longer, book the first 48 hours and email 3dprinters@asmbly.org to request more time. If it's available, we'll try to book it for you.
  2. It is fine for a print to continue while Asmbly is closed.
  3. You may book up to two 3D printers at a time.
  4. Book all of the time you need. Only print during time that you have booked. Don’t start prints that will go beyond your booked time. If your print has been paused or stopped because of a problem, don’t resume or restart it if it will go beyond your booked time. If time is available after your booked time, feel free to book more time to finish your print. If another member has already booked time that your print would need to use, and you contact them and get their approval, you may finish your print. However, if you do not manage to contact them, or if they do not agree to let you continue, then do not start, resume, or restart prints that would go into their time.
  5. Time you book is yours. If you arrive for your booked time and a print is ongoing, you may stop that print. If a print only has a few minutes remaining, it would be nice if you let it finish, but you are not under an obligation to do so.
  6. Give back time that you don’t need. If you realize you’ll be late, change your booking to start when you’ll actually be ready to start. If your print ends early, end your booking early in Skedda.

  7. Don’t let time go to waste. There is a two hour grace period at the beginning of a booking. If the booker is not present after two hours and the printer is still idle, another member may claim the remainder of the time on a first-come, first-served basis. Email 3dprinters@asmbly.org to let us know that this happened. There is a 30 minute grace period after the completion of a print. If the booker is not present and the printer is idle, another member may claim the remainder of the time on a first-come, first-served basis. Email 3dprinters@asmbly.org to let us know that this happened.
