Unboxing / Uncrating
- Unscrew crate TOP
- Unscrew all screws from 2 sides — do not unscrew all screws, leave the metal brackets connected to 2 panels, and removed from 2 panels.
- Unscrew all panels from BOTTOM
- Remove panels
- With two or more people, lift the machine from the bottom (DO NOT TILT) onto the work bench (200lbs, it’s heavy!)
- Remove the glass buildplates from the bottom of the crate
- SAVE your packaging – if you throw it away, you will have to pay for a new crate if you ever need to ship the machine
Setting up the machine
- Unwrap the plastic wrap around the machine
- Open the front door, remove items from inside
- Remove the box secured to the top of chamber heater, on the left
- Contents:
- X/Y Calibration Probe
- Power On/Off Button (magnetic)
- Locate Power Cable (C19 style plug)
- Cut the zip ties holding the Z-axis shuttles at the front corners and rear of the build platform
- Cut the zip ties holding the X and Y toolheads on the top gantry
- Cut the zip ties holding the door handle to the crossbar
- Install the door handle using the screws attached to the door handle using 2.5mm Hex Driver
Double-Check critical items:
– Check all screws on gantry for proper tension
– Visually examine entire machine to ensure no screws/bolts/nuts fell out during shipment. Sometimes, the high-frequency vibration of airplane travel can loosen nuts and bolts — DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP
First Power-On
- Plug in the Power Switch Cable to the socket located on the bottom rear of the machine, and magnetically attach it somewhere near the front of the machine (your preference)
- Plug the power cable into the machine, then in to the NEMA 1-15 110V wall socket
- Rotate the power switch button, and your machine will power up
That’s it! You’re ready for the next step.
