perforated plate increases adhesion of the model to the platform surface. The platform
can easily be removed or put back in place.
PLATFORM CALIBRATION
a procedure which lowers the risk of issues that may occur during the printing process.
It involves checking the distance between the nozzle and five points on the platform, and
tightening/loosening the calibration screws.
POST-PROCESSING
all procedures of mechanical and chemical treatments that improve the final look of the
model. Post-processing techniques include: polishing, sanding, smoothing, painting, or
gluing two or more parts together.
POWER OUTLET AND MAIN SWITCH
the switch enables turning the printer on and off. Next to the switch, there is a power
outlet where you plug the power cable in.
RAFT
the first few layers of material, which begin the whole printing process. These layers are
always printed before the main object and have a larger area than that object. Once the
printing is done, the raft needs to be removed from the platform together with the rest of
the model. The raft enhances the adhesion of the whole print to the platform and reduces
the risk of warping.
SIDE COVERS
plastic panels that can easily be attached to the housing of the printer. They have been
designed to provide protection from drafts and temperature differences that can occur
in the printing room. Constant temperature inside the printing chamber is important for
avoiding cracks and warping. The side covers protect the model during the printing pro-
cess and help it to adhere better to the platform. The set of covers consists of: two side
covers, one front cover, magnets, and hinges. The front panel is fixed to the housing with
two hinges and closed by hidden magnets, whereas the side panels snap on. We especial-
ly recommend using the side covers for large-sized prints and prints made of materials
with high or medium shrinkage level, like Z-ABS.
