3. Initial Hardware Installation
BIBO 3d printer’s working principle is Fused Filament Fabrication(FFF). FFF is the
most common method of 3D printing. It works by melting plastic material called
filament onto a print surface in high temperature. The filament solidifies after it
cools down, which happens instantaneously after it is extruded from the nozzle.
3D objects are formed with the filament laying down multiple layers. 3d printing is
similar to building a house.
3D printing involves three steps:
1. Create or download a 3D model (usually in stl format).
2. Slice the 3D model in the slicing software (repetier host, cura or simplify 3d)
and export the 3D file in gcode format file.
3. The printer recognizes the gcode format file and builds the 3D model.
We have the BIBO parts assembly video and acrylic cover assembly video,
and you can copy it from the SD card which is sent with the printer to you or
download from this link:

The file is ZIP format which was compressed, and you can use winrar or other
software to open these videos. There may be some difference, but the
operation principle is similar.
The printer is usually transported by courier. If the printer is all assembled, its
volume will be much bigger, and the courier freight will be much more as freight
depends on its volume, not actual weight. So we will let big volume part such as
acrylic cover (fragile for shipping), filament run-out detection part not be
assembled, to reduce the expensive transportation freight and let the
transportation be more safe. These parts are easy to assemble.
The first step is to take the machine from carton , also taking the parts out from
the small carton in the printer first , then take the small carton out from the
printer, and remove all the protection bubble wrap and zip ties.
Now raise the build platform by rotating clockwise the lead screw. Then take out
the packed acrylic cover. Please check the photo below:
