Dremel 3D20 Idea Builder User Manual

7. Install the build platform using the build
platform clip to secure.
8. Plug power cord into outlet and turn on
Power Switch (Dremel 3D20 will take
approximately 30 seconds to properly
warm up).
9. Tap “Tools” on your Dremel 3D20’s touch
screen then tap “Filament”, then tap “Load
Filament”.
10. Insert the filament coming from the
filament guide tube into the extruder
intake (top). Tap “Next”.
11. Your Dremel 3D20 will begin to heat the
extruder. The Dremel 3D20 touch screen
display will update you when extruder is
“HOT” and ready to load.
12. Once your Dremel 3D20 is ready to begin
extruding, gently guide the filament into
the extruder until it feeds through on its
own.
Do not touch the extruder tip
during Dremel 3D20
operation or until it has cooled down to at
least 60°C (140°F). Contact with the
extruder tip during or after operation before
tip has cooled may result in personal injury.
13. Filament will then be drawn into the
extruder and begin to exit from the
heated tip at the bottom of the extruder.
After the filament has extruded from the
heated tip, press the return arrow to
complete the loading process. Carefully
remove excess filament without touching
the hot extruder tip.
NOTE: Your Dremel 3D20 was tested by
building objects before leaving the
factory. These test objects may have
been made with a different filament color
than you are using. Therefore, a small
amount of filament may be remaining in
the extruder. When loading filament for
the first time make sure to allow filament
to exit the extruder until your filament
color is consistently visible.
CAUTION: Use extra care to not damage
the extruder tip when clearing debris.
Dremel 3D20 will not work properly with
damaged extruder tip and will require
replacement.
14. After filament has been loaded, ensure
the extruder tip is clear of any debris.
Carefully remove debris with needle nose
pliers to ensure the extruder tip is clean.
15. If filament does not get pulled into the
extruder or does not come out of the
extruder tip, tap “Cancel”. Tap “Setup”
then tap “Unload Filament”. Once your
Dremel 3D20 alerts you it is ready, gently
remove the filament from the top of the
extruder and repeat the filament
installation steps above. Reference
troubleshooting section for further advice.
