Warning:
This machine is an inexpensive 3D printer and in order to successfully print a part, the machine requires that you take extra care in properly preparing the machine. That being said, it is a great machine for printing plastic models.

In order to get successful results you MUST do the following:

1. Do not attempt to print models larger than the Maximum Recommended Print Volume. If you do, the model will not stay on the print bed and/or warp as it prints. This will cause the model to fail while printing.

See Tutorial 1 - Importing and Preparing your Part for Printing for instructions on setting the right print volume.

2. Make sure you properly level the bed and set the Z Height

See Tutorial 2 - Preparing the Machine and Printing the Part for instructions on leveling and zeroing the bed.

Please Note: For a $20.00 fee e a DM staff member will properly level and set the Z height of the bed as well as load and start printing your.

Maximum Print Volume:

X Axis = 100mm (4 inches)
Y Axis = 100mm (4 inches)
Z Axis = 210mm (8.25 inches)

Note: Warping of material is a real issue when using this machine. If you try to print large objects, especially in the X and Y directions, the part can warp when printing and the print WILL fail. It is better to print your part in smaller pieces and glue them together.

In order to gain access to this machine, you need to save your G-Code model to the 3D printer drop box and see a DM Staff Member to gain access to the 3D printer.
