1.0 Introduction to the ProtoCycler
Welcome and thank you for joining the ProtoCycler community! ProtoCycler is designed to provide an easy to use
experience and automatically take care of the extrusion process for you, using an advanced control system to
monitor and control operation.
This manual will guide you to unlocking the operations and extrusion potential of your ProtoCycler extrusion system.
Depending on what operating mode you become accustomed to, you may wish to have the “ProtoCycler Command
Center Overview” document handy or already open. This operations manual details basic setup and operation of
ProtoCycler, including key limitations such as constraints on the size of ground particles for extrusion, and safety
warnings. To avoid bodily harm or damage to your machine, it is recommended that you read this entire document
before proceeding with operation. For further troubleshooting and documentation, please check out

This guide is intended as a comprehensive reference and is somewhat long - though we do encourage you to read it
fully. As a recycling business, we encourage you to keep a digital copy handy at all times on the computer on which
PCC is installed, rather than printing the full manual.
1.1 Safety
As always, safety first when operating equipment of this caliber. Please thoroughly review the safety precautions
before proceeding with ProtoCycler operation. Failure to do so may result in damage to your device or bodily
harm.
