Before the ST3Di printers are despatched to you, they undergo quality control tesng to ensure
that they are performing perfectly for you. Part of this test is to print a test model on the printer to
conrm that the quality output matches our pre-determined standard.
If you are seeing a small amount of a dierent colour lament extruded on the very rst me you
print with your printer it is because a dierent colour lament was used during this tesng phase.
Please follow the ‘Change Filament’ process before prinng and select ‘No’ when asked if a
cartridge is already installed. This will extrude a small amount of lament and conrm that the
printer is ready to print. Please repeat this process unl the lament that you see extruded is
the correct lament for the cartridge that you have installed. This should happen on the second
extrusion, i.e. you only need to press the ‘repeat process’ buon once.
Queson 7. Why did the printhead extrude a dierent colour lament
from what is installed on the very rst extrusion?
If you are seeing a slight warping across the base of your model when completed, (meaning that the
model you have printed does not sit at) please rstly ensure that you have a Z Axis sheet applied
to the bed in order for the model to adhere during the rst layers of prinng.
If you have a Z Axis sheet applied and you sll have some warping then please double check your
sengs when saving your print le. For example on the ModelSmart Pro 280 when prinng with
ABS the bed will be heated to ensure the model remains at throughout the print. Please ensure
that you have selected the correct print material when saving the le as this will ensure that the
bed is heated as it should be.
If you have conrmed that your sengs are correct, you have the Z Axis sheet applied and you are
sll experiencing some warping then please use the ‘brim’ funcon within the Advanced Sengs.
This will print a small amount of lament as a ‘brim’ around the external diameter of your model.
The purpose of this is to retain heat within the area between the brim and the model itself to allow
the lament to adhere to the bed and remain at a temperature that will help it to not contract
(which causes the warping) while the remaining print is completed.
Queson 8. My prints are warped across the base
Queson 9. 3D Support: I am recieving a 3D support message when I try
using the ST3Di edit soware.
If you do not have the latest compable version of DirectX installed on your PC, you will not be
