Best Practices - Dremel 3D40 FLEX Original Instructions Manual

Removal Tool
REMOVING SUPPORTS (IF REQUIRED)
Use needle nose pliers to remove supports that are
inside your object or hard to reach.

BEST PRACTICES

1. ALWAYS USE BUILD TAPE.
FIG. 9 2. Ensure your build plate is level before every object.
3. Ensure spool is installed properly and can rotate
freely.
4. When using your Dremel 3D40 FLEX for the first
time or after changing filament, allow Dremel 3D40
FLEX to extrude until material is consistent with the
installed filament color.
5. It is important to watch your Dremel 3D40 FLEX
begin building objects. Your object is most likely to
experience difficulty in the beginning. Thankfully,
this is also the most convenient time to cancel the
object, clean the build plate, and start your object
again. Remain near the Dremel 3D40 FLEX during
the building process.
6. It is important to save your Dremel 3D40
FLEX packaging as it will make re-boxing and
transporting your Dremel 3D40 FLEX easier.
7. Ensure that you store filament spools in an
environment that is not moist or too hot. It is
recommended that you do not remove the filament
spool from its airtight packaging until use.
8. Use object removal tool gently to avoid damaging
the build plate or object.
9. Whenever possible, it is best to locate your object
in the center of the build plate. Using the best
orientation for your object is critical. Ensure that
your object is located on the build plate and that
you are using the best orientation for building.
10. For steep overhangs (Less than 45 degree angle) it
is recommended to build with support.
11. Always remove the build plate before removing the
object.
12. Low speed sanding is recommended to prevent
remelting of the object.
13. The Dremel Digilab 3D Slicer software will display
the length of filament required for each object.
Compare this to the length indicated on the spool
length gauge.
