Making your very rst 3D print – Quick Print Guide

1.3 Plugging in your Creatr HS

OPTIONAL: If you want to use the printer con-

nected to your computer, use the USB cable

supplied with the printer, insert the USB-A (at

rectangular connector) cable in your computer

and insert the USB-B (square connector) cable

in the backside of the Creatr HS.

In this Quick Guide we will use the stand-alone

modus, therefore the cable does not have to be

plugged in.

NOTE: If your printer has a USB-A

(at rectangular) backside connec-

tion, make sure you only use the USB-A cable with the built in FTDI chip that is included

in the box. Any other USB might interfere with the communication.

STEP 5: Plug the power cord in the outlet and turn on your Creatr HS.

1.4. Preheating the printer

Before you start loading your lament, it is necessary to preheat your printer. Heating your extrud-

ers will make sure that your lament will melt and feed through. You are also preheating your print

bed. This will make sure your print will stick to your bed.

STEP 6: To preheat, scroll to the preheat icon

on your screen, and push the button. If the co-

lour of the icon changes, your nozzles and bed

are preheating.

1.5. Loading lament

The Creatr HS is compatible with a wide range

of 1.75 mm laments. All laments provided by

Leapfrog 3D Printers are of high quality and are

thoroughly tested by us. For every lament, we

also provide standard settings for Simplify3d

(to be found in The Ecosystem).

STEP 7: Unpack your role of lament and cut

the end into a sharp point.

OPTIONAL: connect USB cable to port
