Thanks to its full enclosure, the F400 is fairly insensitive to air drafts, dust, etc. It’s still better to avoid
environments with these characteristics if possible.
3.5 Power
Your F400’s peak power draw is approximately 5 amps at 110VAC. Operating draw will depend on the material
being printed; higher temperature materials require more power.
Please use the included power cord to connect your F400 to a 3 prong outlet. Due to the high power draw, please
be mindful that you do not overload any power strips/surge protectors you use.
If you are installing multiple F400s, be mindful of the capacity of your electrical circuits. Three F400s can over-
draw a 15A circuit.
3.6 Network
Your F400 contains a 10/100 Ethernet port to allow you to connect the printer to your local network. It will set up
a web page that allows you to remotely monitor and control the printer.
This is an optional feature; the attached LCD also gives you full control over your printer.
By default this web page is only accessible inside your local network. It is NOT accessible from the wider
internet (it is not cloud-based)
See section 6 for more information.
3.6.1 What if I need Wifi?
You can purchase an Ethernet to wifi bridge and use that to get your F400 onto your wireless network. We have
tested the following and verified they work:

3.8 Notes for Users with Multiple F400s
There are a few things to keep in mind if you have multiple F400s.
First, the SD cards that come with your printers are NOT interchangeable. Each printer has its own SD card with
calibration values specific to that printer. We recommend labeling the cards in some way to help avoid confusion.
Second, if you want to put your F400s on your network, you need to make sure they have different MAC addresses
and different machine names. See section 6.3 for more information on how to change these values.
