Loading Model and Support Containers
Objet1000Plusprintersusefourcontainers ofModelmaterialandtwo
containersofSupportmaterial,eachweighing18kilogramswhenfull.A
graphicalrepresentationofthecontainersloadedandtheircurrentweight
appearsintheprinterinterface(seefigure 6‐3).
Important:IfyouneedtoreplacetheModelmaterialcurrently
installedwithanothertype,see“ChangingthePrintingMaterial”
onpage 12.Otherwise,makesuretoreplacetheModelcontainer
withonecontainingthesametypeofmaterial.
To load Model and Support material:
1. Onthesideoftheprinter,pullopenthedoorsofthestorage
compartment.
2. Ifyouarereplacingamaterialcontainer,disconnectitfromthefeed
tube.Then,graspthehandleandpullthecontainer outoftheprinter.
3. LoadModelandSupportcontainersintotheirrespective
compartments.
Liftthefullmaterial
containercarefully,usingbothhands.Itis
recommendedthatyouusealiftinghandlesimilartotheoneshown
here.

4. Connectthematerialfeedtubetothecontainer.
Youshouldhearaclickingsoundwhentheconnectorissecurely
attachedtothecontainer.Makesurethattheconnectorissecure.
5. Checktheprinterinterfacetomakesurethatthenewcontaineris
detectedandthatitsweightisdisplayed(seefigure 6‐3).
6. Closethestorage‐compartmentdoor.
The printer uses RFID technology to automatically identify containers of
printing material. For this purpose, an RFID module is part of the printer
hardware. Tampering with this module will render the printer inoperable and
may void Stratasys warranties and service contracts.
