GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Definition
Term
Build Platform The flat surface used by your Dremel
3D20 to build objects.
Build Platform Clip located at the front of the build
Clip platform base that is used to secure
the build platform in place.
Build Tape Adhesive tape similar to blue painter's
tape that improves the consistency of
your objects and helps them stick to
the build plate surface.
Build Volume The three dimensional (3D) amount
of space that an object will use once
it is completed. Your Dremel 3D20
has a maximum build volume which
means that objects with a larger build
volume cannot be built unless they
are resized or broken objects with a
larger build volume cannot be built
unless they are resized or broken into
sub-objects.
Door Your Dremel 3D20 has a door located
on the front panel. This allows for
easy access to the build platform,
extruder, filament, and your objects.
This door is made with a transparent
material so you can monitor the
progress of your objects while keeping
the build environment stable.
Lid Your Dremel 3D20 has a removable
lid on the top. This allows for more
access to the build platform, extruder,
filament, and objects when necessary.
Limit Switch Switch that is activated by the motion
of the extruder or build platform when
the end of travel is reached.
Extruder An assembly that uses gears to
pull filament through the extruder
intake, heat the filament to the build
temperature, and push the heated
filament out of the extruder tip.
Extruder Fan A fan used to cool the outer assembly
of the extruder and gear motor.
Extruder Intake An opening located at the top of the
extruder where filament is inserted for
building.
Extruder Push A lever located on the side of the
Lever extruder that is used to loosen the
grip of the extruder gear motor.
Extruder Tip A nozzle located at the bottom of the
extruder where heated filament is
forced out for building.
Filament A threadlike strand of plastic material.
Filament Spool A cylindrical piece on which a long
strand of filament is wound for storage
and continuous use.
Filament Guide A plastic piece that guides the
Tube filament from the filament spool
through a passage in the outer
housing of your Dremel 3D20.
Leveling Knobs located under the build
Knobs platform base that are used to create
proper spacing between the extruder
tip and the build platform.
