Batch B01Note

While a long plate runs

Note · Batch B01 — Z drive assemblies

Seven plates in this build run past eight hours and one runs past fifteen. None of them wants watching, but all of them want three looks: the first layer, the corners after an hour, and once more at bedtime. A lifted corner is a stop, not a wait — abort, clear the sheet, renew the glue film and restart, rather than letting the plate print another six hours on top of it.

Fifteen hours. Watch the first layer, then walk away. A champion can supervise from a spool.

The rest of the time the printer is working for you and the bench is free. In order of value: read the assembly chapter the running batch feeds, sort and label the previous plate into its bins, and print or write the bin labels you are still missing.
