Tip
more info here if you wanna know what's going on!
- PC (polycarbonate), here's the one we used in particular.
- It is vital to ensure that the filament is properly dried, and kept in a dry environment as PC has a tendency to absorb moisture from it surroundings that will affect the final print quality and lead to bubbling noises coming from the printer as the water vapor is vaporized.
- 1x USB Drive that should be attached to the printer's USB port.
Plug the USB drive from the printer into your computer.
Download the file for the frame here, saving it directly to the USB Drive of the printer.
Once the file is loaded onto the USB Drive, the USB drive can be safely ejected.
Tip
This file was already sliced and is directly ready for printing.
Ensure that the correct filament type PC is loaded into the printer by verifying the material that is currently on and feeding into the printer. If a material other than PC is loaded, reference the following video to change filaments.
Ensure that the correct build platform is used by verifying that the following words are written on the build surface Spring Steel Sheet. If not, find the build platform that is the Spring Steel Sheet and remove the one that is there currently, and place the Spring Steel Sheet (It is attached with magnets).
If the printer is turned off (the screen is dark), turn the printer on using the on switch at the back of the printer. Once the boot-up screen has finished loading please proceed to the next step.
Place the USB drive into USB port of the printer, then the most recently loaded print job will pop up. Press Print Now to start the print.
