7.1 Test print
To get your BFB-3000 printer up and running as quickly as possible, we have already loaded
a .BFB file of a duck for you to immediately make.
 Make sure materials are loaded as per “Load the filament” (page 31).
 Follow “Start a print” (page 40) to print the Duck file using the file on the SD card
relevant to the number of extruders on your BFB-3000 (see table below). Remember,
only the first 6 characters of the filename will be displayed on the control box if the
filename is longer than 8 characters.
Number of extruders
File name
1 (ABS)
Duck1A_E1_ABS.bfb

Duck1P_E1_PLA.bfb
2

 After printing, follow procedure detailed in “Remove existing prints” (page 12) to
take the model out of the printer.
