Created page with "thumb|alt=AnyCubic Kobra Max|AnyCubic Kobra Max" |
Started a page for the large bed 3d printer. I used the current Prusa page as a template, but commented out much of the material since I am not 100% sure about it. |

* **STRICT SHOP RULE:** **ABSOLUTELY NO razor blades, sandpaper, or metal scrapers on this bed!** Metal tools will permanently destroy the micro-porous glass coating | |||
* **NO adhesives allowed:** No glue sticks, blue tape, hairspray, or ABS slurry | |||
* Clean bed ONLY with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and a lint-free wipe when the bed is room temperature | |||
* **Print Removal:** Allow the bed to cool completely to room temperature before removing prints. The plastic will naturally release as the glass cools. | |||
** Use only soft plastic tools or fingernails if assistance is needed | |||
<!-- | |||
=== Filament & Loading === | |||
* Bowden extruder setup: Cut filament tip at a sharp 45-degree angle before feeding through the filament runout sensor and dual-gear extruder | |||
* Load and unload filament via the touchscreen menu (`Prepare` -> `Filament`) | |||
* Currently allowing PLA and PETG on this printer | |||
* Consult shop stewards for specialty filament needs (TPU, ASA, etc.)--> | |||
<!-- | |||
=== Operation & Printing === | |||
* **Large Bed Warm-Up:** The massive 400x400mm bed takes longer to reach temperature than smaller printers. Allow extra time for thermal equalization | |||
* **Clearance:** Keep the area behind and in front of the printer clear—the bed travels far along the Y-axis during prints | |||
* LeviQ auto-bed leveling is active; always monitor the first 2–3 layers to confirm proper Z-offset and first-layer adhesion | |||
* Unload filament when print job is complete | |||
* Infill over 40% is generally wasted material and time | |||

== General and Special Safety Considerations: == | |||
'''This is not an exhaustive list!''' | |||
* '''Read, understand, and follow all warning labels, instructions, and safety manuals.''' | |||
* Take the required training class before operating. | |||
* **Burn Hazard:** Extruder (up to 260 °C) and build plate (up to 100 °C) reach extreme temperatures. | |||
* **Pinch & Mechanical Hazard:** High-torque motors and a large moving bed. Keep hands, loose clothing, hair, and cables clear of all motion paths (especially the Y-axis rear clearance zone). | |||
