SPOOL HOLDER
the element which is used to secure the spool of material at the back of the printer. The
holder consists of two connected parts. It can be opened and closed with the push-to-
-open/close mechanism.
STARTER KIT
several pieces of equipment that are put together in one set. Apart from the heatbed and
the perforated plate, the set contains tools and protective equipment. The Starter Kit is
needed to perform maintenance and repair work of your Zortrax printers. Each printer
is delivered with equipment including, for example, a set of nozzle keys or safety gloves.
STEPPER MOTOR
a type of electric motor in which the power supply does not cause full rotation of the
motor shaft, but instead, a series of steps. There are four stepper motors in each Zortrax
printer: two that are responsible for the extruder’s motion, one which allows the platform’s
vertical motion, and one which enables material loading.
TOUCHSCREEN
the display screen placed at the front of the printer, which enables fast and intuitive navi-
gation through the device’s menu. The screen also displays information about the current
printing process and other information concerning the printer.
Z-AXIS SCREW
the screw which is responsible for the platform’s vertical motion. It is driven by a stepper
motor placed under the the bottom plate. The Z-axis screw constitutes an integral part of
the platform moving system.
ZCODEX
a file format which contains a model prepared for 3D printing with previously selected
print settings, such as layer thickness, infill type, etc. All print settings can be managed
in Z-SUITE before generating the .zcodex. The .zcodex format can be transferred to the
printer directly from Z-SUITE over Wi-Fi/Ethernet cable or using a USB flash drive.
