## After your part has been prepared, save the project before continuing. Generally, you will not start the print in the lab itself, since a volunteer will start it when a tray is full or when the day ends, but the workflow is as follows.

## Once your part has been prepared, you can click on on "View Estimates" in the bottom right-hand corner. You will see print time and the amount of model and support material that will be used, in cubic inches (in^3). This is an example of what the tray estimation page looks like. The model and support material used can be input into the Job Log in the lab.<figure-inline>[[File:Estimate.png|300x300px]]</figure-inline>

## Touchscreen operation on the F370 is highly intuitive. In the image below, the four icons on the left are as follows

# Soaking the part: Dissolvable Support Bath 

### Home - Displays the current tray to be printed. If a print is in progress, it will display how much time is left in the print and what is being printed. After a few minutes, a screen saver will switch between displaying which layer is being printed and how much time is left on the current print.

 

### Queue - Shows which trays are queued. This can also be viewed in GrabCAD.

 

### Materials - The third menu will display which material trays contain material, what kind of material is in the F370, and how much material is left. It also displays tip temperature for each respective material.

'''Printing your part:''' After your part has been prepared, save the project before continuing. Generally, you will not start the print in the lab itself, since a volunteer will start it when a tray is full or when the day ends, but the workflow is as follows.

### Tools - The last menu has various settings and functions for the printer. One of the icons in this menu will be a sun, which turns the light inside the printer on and off so a print can be viewed. Otherwise, do not mess with or change settings without speaking to a volunteer first.  [[File:F370_Touchscreen.jpg|none|thumb]]

 

### To start your print, the image above shows the home screen for the console. If a build plate is in place, the F370 has sufficient materials, and the correct tray is displayed, simply select "Print" and the print will begin.

## You will need to soak your finished part in the Dissolvable Support Bath in order to remove the support material. Much of it can be removed with pliers, but the remainder needs to be taken care of with the bath.

## For more information, see the [[Dissolvable Support Bath]] page. This section will contain basic information on what to do with the parts and bath, with basic safety info (gloves, goggles, washing yourself, spill, etc) and "see bath page for more detailed information" on particular topics.
