Markforged X7 - Unbox and Assemble Your Printer

INDUSTRIAL PRINTER QUICK START GUIDE
6
UNBOX AND ASSEMBLE YOUR PRINTER
Tools:
● 3mm hex key
The printer will be delivered on a pallet with a cover box. The box does not have a bottom and the printer
will sit directly on the pallet, so please take care when unboxing and moving the printer. The printer and
cabinet are heavy and require two people to move or set up. Never lift the printer by its plastic visor.
Note: Retain the box and protective foam for future shipping.
1. Review the Safety Sheet that came with your printer.
2. Perform a two-person lift to remove your printer’s cabinet from its box and set it up in its operating
location, on a table rated to support its weight. Position the cabinet such that its doors face front
and the opening at its back remains accessible.
3. Mount your Industrial Series printer on the cabinet such that the lid opens from the front.
4. Remove the Getting Started card from the visor and set it aside, then remove and discard the
plastic wrap and any tape.
5. Remove the accessory kit from the printer. Remove and discard the plastic wrap.
6. Carefully remove the zip ties that hold the XY gantry to the print stage.
7. Screw the Wi-Fi antenna onto the SMA jack or plug the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
8. Manually move the print head to the back left corner of the print chamber. Download a tuning app
on your mobile device (see note). Place your phone’s microphone close to, but not touching, the
belts underneath the Y-railand pluck the belt oppositethe print head like a guitar string. Use a
3mm hex key to adjust the belt tensioner until the app reads a frequency of 82–84Hz.
Note: Recommended free tuner apps: Fine Tuner (iOS), Fine Chromatic Tuner (Android).
9. Plug the power cord into the printer and wall outlet.
10. Turn your printer on and wait for it to power up; initial startup will take several minutes.
11. Connect your printer to the Internet via:
● Ethernet: Select the Ethernet icon from the dashboard and navigate to Ethernet > Done.
● Wi-Fi: Select the Wi-Fi icon from the dashboard and navigate to Wi-Fi > Configure. Use the arrow
button to select a network from the Network Name drop-down menu and enter the password if
needed. Then, press Save. Note: If no networks are listed, power cycle the printer and try again.
12. Update rmware wirelessly by navigating to Menu > Settings > Update Manager > Cloud
Update. To update rmware via USB, see Update Firmware on the support site.
