	The Ultimaker is run in a first-come-first-serve basis. This means that there is no queue to get in line for having your print started. The only way to '''ensure''' that you get your print done is to be at the printer when another print finishes and start your print then. The best we can do to help you if you talk to one of the managers is if they know how to work the printer they can start your print at the end of the current one if they would still be present. '''This is not a guarantee.''' Managers reserve the right to restart or cancel prints if they look misconfigured (like forgetting support) or is failing. If a print is failing because it needs support and wasn't set properly, we will cancel it and not be able to restart it because the ultimaker needs an updated Gcode file which we cannot create without knowing the specifics of your print.

	'''BE CAREFUL!''' If the printer was recently used, the nozzle will be VERY hot.		'''BE CAREFUL!''' If the printer was recently used, the nozzle will be VERY hot.

	The nozzles for an ultimaker come if a few different sizes: 0.25mm, 0.40mm, 0.60mm, and 0.80mm. The different sizes will effect the properties of your print. A higher nozzle will allow you to print with a higher layer thickness and in turn could make your print go faster. a general guideline is you can print with a layer thickness up to around 50%-75% of the nozzle size. But this also means the higher nozzle size will mean less quality prints, so it is a trade-off. Also, the more filament being printed will also make your print more durable.

But this also means the higher nozzle size will mean less quality prints, so it is a trade-off. Also, the more filament being printed will also make your print more durable.

			There are also a few different types of nozzles for the ultimaker. The difference between the nozzles is the internal geometry of how the filament is extruded. The AA core is the basic core used for most materials, however the BB core is the only one capable of printing PVA. You should '''NOT''' try and print PVA on an AA core or it will clog and possibly ruin the nozzle! You can technically print anything on a BB nozzle, but you would need to override Cura saying you shouldn't. With this said, you still might find some problems with things like printing PLA on a BB; you might find quite a bit of oozing. In general, if you are printing anything but PVA, you can use the AA nozzle.

			===Changing the Nozzle===

	Sometimes the nozzle might get clogged. This might present itself by the nozzle no longer extruding anything. If you feel this might be what is wrong with the printer and don't feel comfortable checking yourself, you can let a manager know. If you want to take a quick look inside, you can remove the front side of the nozzle (where the fan is) by tugging slightly on the top of the fan and drag down.

	Be sure that the nozzles are not very warm before proceeding. If you are completely comfortable, you can take the nozzle out by pressing down on the acrylic tab, this will let you pull out the nozzle. You can then inspect the nozzle further. You can try and see if there is any inside blockage by taking something small like a paper clip and slowly see if it is clear. You can then reinsert a new nozzle (or different size) the same way it came out.		Be sure that the nozzles are not very warm before proceeding.
