Operating System specific M3D Software. Download the M3D Software to
a known location, like your Desktop. Run the installer and continue
through all windows and prompts.

ready to automatically detect any M3D printers that are connected.

turn off your printer or computer during firmware and software updates.
*Turn Windows Automatic Updates to Inform Only*
When running a Windows PC, turn Automatic Updates to
“Check for updates, but let me choose whether to
download and install them” from the Control Panel; this
will prevent Windows Automatic Updates from restarting
your computer (resulting in a print failure) while The
Micro is in operation.
