Restructuring and frameworking the FDM printing induction process
Recently, some trainees have asked questions about basic operation of the machines within a few days of induction, or in some cases not even retained info until the end of the induction.
I propose we change the format of printer training to match the initial session + assessment (on another day by a different trainer) format used for the laser cutters.
This should help to ensure that new trainees are able to remember the critical information necessary to operate the machines safely beyond the training session.

Require FDM printer trainees to complete a seperate assessment session with a different trainer on a different day, prior to sign off to use the machines. Closed Sat 26 Oct 2024 3:00PM

Agree. But concerned that it will add additional burden to trainers. I will be available more often probably in the new year to help more often.
