BEFORE YOU BUILD
1. Ensure an adequate amount of filament is loaded
(see page 18).
TIP: You can determine whether you have enough
filament to complete your object before building
by comparing the length of filament needed as
displayed by Dremel Digilab 3D Slicer to the length
of filament on spool indicated by the length gauge.
If 3D40 FLEX runs out of filament during a build, it
will pause until more filament is added.
2. Ensure build tape is applied, build platform is level
and clear of objects.
BUILDING FROM ON-PRINTER STORAGE
1. On the main menu tap "Build".
2. On the build menu tap the printer icon.
3. Tap the model file you would like to build.
(Use arrows to scroll through pages)
4. In the model detail page tap "Build" to begin
building process.
5. Your 3D40 FLEX will first align the extruder and
build platform to their zero positions then the
level sensor will lightly touch the build platform to
complete alignment. Your extruder tip will begin
to heat which may take a few minutes. Once the
proper temperature is reached your model will
begin to build.
6. Once your object is finished your 3D40 FLEX will
automatically align the extruder and build platform
to their calibration positions and cool the extruder
tip.
7. Wait until the touch screen indicates that the
extruder is "cool" to remove your object. See
section for removing object from build platform
below for object removal instructions.
