5.1 First me set up of your INKREDIBLE 3D
bioprinter
The following steps should be followed the rst me the INKREDIBLE 3D Bioprinter is
used, as well as every me it is moved from one place of operaon to another.
5.1.1 Calibrang the Printbed
It is important to ensure that the printbed is completely leveled compared to the internal
axes of your INKREDIBLE 3D Bioprinter.
1. Verify that the INKREDIBLE 3D Bioprinter is disconected from both the power outlet,
the compressor, and your computer.
2. Insert an empty cartridge with nozzle into printhead 1 [2a] and push
that printhead manually to the boom most posion.

of the printbed right in front of the adjustment screw to the back le [7a].
4. Leaving the printbed where it is, move the printheads manually so that nozzle is right in
front of the adjustment screw to the back right [7c]. Adjust the buery screw unl the
nozzle touches the surface of the printbed.
5. Again, leaving the printbed where it is, move the printhead so that the nozzle is right
behind the front adjustment screw [7b]. Adjust the buery screw unl the nozzle
touches the printbed.
5.1.2 Supplying Power and Air
1. Plug the power cord into the back [11] of the of the INKREDIBLE 3D Bioprinter and
then into the power outlet.
2. Connect the air tube (provided) to the air compressor and then to the back of the
