 == DO NOT LEAVE MACHINES UNATTENDED ==
-''' Please do not leave 3d printers unattended for long periods!'''
+''' Please do run 3d printers with being present in the Lab.'''
-These printers are prone to failure, and leaving them unattended could result in cooked filiment / extruders, damaged mechanical components, or fires.
+If a printer fails it could result in cooked filament / extruders, damaged mechanical components, or fires.

-* The recommended software for the Prusa Mini printers is [[https://www.prusa3d.com/prusaslicer/ PrusaSlicer]]
-* '''Type A''' Gcode can be generated using our Cura settings or the [https://www.typeamachines.com/downloads Type A KISSlicer] ("Series 1 2012/2013 - Plywood" section). The new "Cura Type A" is intended for newer models of their printers and just grinds the filament on ours instead of printing!
