"Prototyping Lab" is not in the list (Computer Lab, Finishing Room, Machine Shop, Meeting Rooms, PCB Lab, Prototype Lab, The Hub, The Vault, Tool Room, Welding Shop, ...) of allowed values for the "Is located in facility" property.
The Prusa i3 MK3 is a 3D printer that includes a removable heatbed, filament sensor, and other unique features in order to rapidly prototype projects.

Terminology
Nozzle/Extruder
The nozzle (or extruder) is the part of a 3D printer which deposits the molten plastic filament onto the 3D printer bed. The extruder can reach 200°-300°C, depending on the filament used, but typically stays around 215°C for regular prints.
Heatbed
The heatbed is a 9.83" x 8.3" x 8.3" plate where the filament will be "printed" on. The bed heats up to around 60°C. Heated beds typically prevent the plastic from warping by keeping it warm. Warping is a common issue that happens on 3D printers, where the plastic of the print cools at an uneven rate, leaving the print wavy and not the way you intentioned.
