Print will start after heating bed which will take some time. It is required to check on print after the printing has begun and first layer is printing as expected

It is required to check on the print every 2 hours or less. If monitoring the printer periodically does not happen, the warranty could be voided. Ask the lab director for access to the live video feed if necessary

It is also required to turn on the snorkels within the lab allowing for proper ventilation which is necessary while printing ABS. The switch can be found in the back of the room next to the band saw.
