2.2 PREPARING THE 3D PRINTER
If the machine is off, switch it on by pressing and releasing the Power ON/OFF Switch. The red power
light and yellow error light will turn on. Then the Gantry will move slowly as it orients itself. We
recommend that you leave the machine on at all times—in sleep mode the machine will exercise the print
heads during periods of inactivity to prevent clogging.
1. Wait for the green Online light indicating that the power-up procedure has completed. The
warm up process should take between 60 and 90 seconds.
2. Take machine offline by pressing and releasing the Online Button.
3. Open the Top Cover to gain access to the build area.
Technical Tip -
LEAVE THE MACHINE ON! This allows the printer to perform a periodic self maintenance.
