10		-= **Preparing To Print** =
	13	+When removing filament from the machine, put it in a vacuum sealed plastic bag with two blue desiccant bags so that it stays dry. The bags have a pattern on them that allows air to flow even if the two sides of the plastic are in contact.
11	11
12		-Follow the printing guide for your 3d printer:
	15	+When the desiccant balls have turned purple they will be less effective at absorbing moisture and should be thrown out. When the bags are no longer able to hold a vacuum within them, they should be thrown out.

	20	+Never release the loose end of a removed spool of filament. If the filament gets tangled, it can become impossible to untangle the spool, requiring it to be discarded.

	30	+Specific instructions about how to install the filament are provided later in the [[3D Printing>>doc:Workflows.3D Printing.3D Printing.WebHome]] section

	32	+Ensure you have enough filament for print.
	33	+Ensure no tangles on filament.

	35	+**PLA** (low temperature, brittle, easy to print)
	36	+**ABS **(strong, high-temp, must be enclosed when printing)
	37	+**PETG **(more stringing, but stronger and more temperature resistant than PLA)
	38	+**TPE/TPU** (flexible)
	39	+
	40	+MCI provides PLA, PETG, TPU, and ABS filament for members’ use
	41	+
	42	+If you producing very large volumes of prints (e.g. 500g+ of filament in a single project) please provide your own filament.
	43	+
	44	+Colour options provided by MCI will be limited. If you have specific colour or material requirements not met by the small number of filament spools MCI has open and available at the time, please provide your own filament.
	45	+
	46	+Do not open new boxes of MCI filament merely because the currently open spools are not in the colours that you want.
