5.0 The First Print!
1. Quick Calibrate
Often a successful first print layer leads to
a successful print! To be sure your printer is
ready for its first print, select the Gear Icon
to open the printer settings. Then go to the
Calibration section where you can select
Advanced Calibration. Now select the
Recalibrate Bed Location button. This will
begin the Quick Calibration process, which
should take no more than 5 minutes.
*DO NOT TOUCH The Micro During
Calibration*
Keep the printer on a level/stable surface
during any calibration sequence. There is the
option in the M3D Software to manually adjust
the calibration height of your Micro. Please visit
www.PrintM3D.com/support for detailed
videos and documents regarding calibrating
The Micro.
2. Load the First Model
Loading a model into the printer is simple;
just drag the model from the Recent
Models library to the printer. Your first
model is already loaded in the M3D
Software. We recommend printing this
model first as a test calibration.
Select the  Open Model  button in the top left
corner of the M3D Software to browse for
other 3D Models on your computer.
Other models can be downloaded from sites
like Thingiverse.com and Yeggi.com. These
files must be .STL or .OBJ file types.
3. Watch Your First MicroPrint!
Click the Green Button to open the print
settings menu and begin your first print. For
your first model, we have already
pre-loaded the best settings, so all you have
to do is press print!
*Look Out!*
We encourage you to get into the habit of
watching the first few layers of your print and
paying attention to two things:
Nozzle Height
Only a piece of paper
should fit between
the print bed and
nozzle tip. If not,
Recalibrate!
Peeling/Warp
You should typically
stop your print and
adjust the User
Offset Values in that
corner.
