Bambu P1S Induction
The induction signup page for the Bambu Labs P1S 3D printer. While a few parts are specific to this printer, most content applies to all FDM-type 3D printers.
Induction
Induction will include:
- Safety instruction, i.e. how the printer could harm you
- Care while using the printer, i.e. how you could harm the printer
- Care for the print job, i.e. how you could mess up the print
- What would make a 3D model suitable for 3D printing, and what would be difficult to print.
- Preparing an STL via Bambu Studio or Orca Slicer
- Preparing the printer
- Printing
- Tidying up afterwards, including paying for time and materials used.
Induction will not necessarily include:
- How to use some random 3D CAD package, especially one that the inductors haven't used themselves. It is recommended that you familiarise yourself with a 3D CAD package so as not to create near-impossible geometry before attempting to do your own prints.
The inductors have decided to introduce a fee for inductions, which is £10 per person. This goes to the inductor for giving up their time, not only for induction, but also for the time they spend maintaining and organising replacement materials/parts. (reference)
Please include your name and hackspace membership number, if known, when booking inductions - this makes it easier for us to add you to the access list when inducted.

Risk Assessment - 3D Printers
This risk assessment is intended to provide guidance on the risk associated with the above equipment and activities in normal use. Please also check general risk assessments for the space as a whole. Any discrepancies, errors or concerns should be raised with the document maintainers or trustees - do not edit this assessment directly. For responsible persons and last update, see 'version log' of the assessment page.
Activity

Signage
Understanding Risk Rating
LOW - Ensure current control measures are in place and continue with activity
MED - Control measures may be adequate, co-supervision is recommended
HIGH - Do not undertake activity without further consultation with area specialists
Risk Assessment
| Identify Hazards | Who May be Harmed and How | Severity | Control Measures | Likelihood | Risk Rating |
