Equipment Report
- The Lulzbot Taz 3D printer is down for repairs.
- PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE SAFETY GUARDS AND RAILS FROM THE EQUIPMENT. If you do remove them, PLEASE PUT THEM BACK WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED!
- Please make sure that you review the instructions and manual and ask for the training prior to using the equipment.
- If your project is too big for the table saw, make a smaller project.... or ask for help.... or use outfeed rollers... but just please DO NOT hurt yourself being unexcellent and unsmart.
Community safety is more important than your personal convenience.
- If something is broken or needs replaced, please send an email to broken@lvl1.org.
- Please supply as much information as possible; links to websites or items are GREATLY appreciated. Consumables can be time-consuming to find; broken is not a mind reader!
