Instructions: Unboxing the Printer

Step 1 | Take the Printer out of the Crate

  • Unclasp the front and back panels. There should be 8 on the front and 4 on the back.

 

  • Lower the front panel so that it rests at the bottom lip and creates a ramp
  • Grab the screws in the bag stapled to the center cross brace and use them to lock in the bottom panel

  • Unscrew the wingnuts on the cross braces to remove them

 

  • Pull the printer out and down the ramp. 
  • Remove the bag

  • Place a bubble level on the light engine
  • Turn wheel cogs clockwise until the feet are touching instead of the wheels
  • Adjust the four feet until the light engine is level

 

Step 5 | Check the Emergency Stop Button

  • The emergency stop button should not be pressed in. You should see a black ring under the red button head. If not, twist it clockwise.
  • If pressed in, the printer's PC and touchscreen will continue to work (giving you the impression that it is working), but higher power electronics such as the light engine, fans, and pump will not.

 

Step 6 | Register your Product
