A nozzle located at the bottom of the extruder where heated filament is forced out for
building.
A threadlike strand of plastic material.
A plastic piece that guides the filament from the filament spool through a passage in
the outer housing of your Dremel 3D40.
A sensor in the extruder that pauses your printer if filament stops extruding properly.
A sensor in the extruder intake that pauses your printer if it runs out of filament
during a build.
A cylindrical piece on which a long strand of filament is wound for storage and
continuous use.
A buildable file format compatible with your Dremel 3D40.
Knobs located under the build platform base that are used to create proper spacing
between the extruder tip and the build platform.
A sensor that detects the height of the build platform and assists in proper leveling.
Your Dremel 3D40 has a pivoting lid on the top. This allows for more access to the
build platform, extruder, filament, and objects when necessary.
Common tool used to hold small objects and to grab excess material that may be too
hot to touch directly.
A common digital file format used in a wide range of 3D model software. This file is
created in 3rd party 3D software or downloaded from Dremel3D.com.
A tool used to separate your objects from the build platform.
A bioplastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch.
A plastic piece located to the left of the build platform inside your Dremel 3D40 build
area that is designed to hold a filament spool.
A removable door which locks the filament spool to the spool holder.
A brushless DC electric motor used to drive the guide rails and extruder gears.
A common digital file format used in a wide range of 3D model software. This file is
created in 3rd party 3D software or downloaded from Dremel3D.com.
Full color display that is touch activated. It allows you to monitor your Dremel 3D40
and objects while also providing commands directly to your Dremel 3D40 without the
use of a computer.
A portable memory card used on a wide array of devices.
A local area wireless networking technology that allow electronic devices to
communicate.
A set of rails on either side of the extruder that allow a stepper motor to move the
extruder to the left or right side of the build area.
A set of rails on either side of the build area that allow a stepper motor to move the
extruder to the front or back of the build area.
A set of rails located at the back of the build area that allow a stepper motor to move
the build platform up or down.
