• Select the Print menu on the main screen.
• Please locate the file what you like to print. The files on the flash drive can be located under the “pendrive”
folder, the internal storage is under the “local” folder.
• Move the list up or down to locate the gcode of the item you want to print and select it. You can only select one
gcode for printing, if multiple items are selected, printing cannot be started!
• Press the Start button in the right corner of the screen.
• The machine warms the print head and the build plate to the values specified in gcode.
• Printing starts when the machine reaches the required operating temperature.
• Please make sure that you have enough filament for the selected project. The quantity is pre-calculated by
CraftWare.
• After the object has been printed, remove the build plate. Printed object can be removed easily, just bend the
flexible build plate. Please note, if the object is still warm, it may bend when removed. To avoid this,
please allow some time to cool.
During printing, sometimes it can be essential to modify the printing parameters on the fly.
Also this menu pops up, when the printer gets a pause command from the gcode or from the screen.
In Pause menu users can change filament, continue printing or terminate the printing operation. Pressing the resume
button will continue the printing. For filament change use the Extrude / Reverse functions, or the preprogrammed
