BUILD PLATFORM PREPARATION
Do not touch the extruder tip
during
WARNING
operation or until it has cooled down to 60°C
(140°F). Contact with the extruder tip during
or after operation before tip has cooled may
result in personal injury.
CAUTION: Before every build make sure that
the build platform is covered with Dremel
specified build tape. Use of improper build
tape may result in equipment damage and
poor object build quality.
LEVELING BUILD PLATFORM
It is important you level the build platform
every time you replace the build tape or
reinstall the build platform to ensure that the
build platform is evenly spaced from the
extruder head. Make sure to remove any air
bubbles from between the build platform and
the build tape. Not leveling the build platform
or eliminating air bubbles may cause objects
to not build properly.
Wait for the extruder head to cool to at least
60C (140F) before leveling build platform.
Extruder temperature can be monitored on
the touch screen (See Preheat section on
page 19).
1. Make sure you have placed build tape
over the build platform. Applying build tape
to the build platform after leveling may
effect the consistency of your object.

2. Tap "Tools" on your Dremel 3D20's touch
screen and tap "Level". (See page 17)

3. The extruder and build platform will move
into position to level the build platform. You
will first level the front left section of the
build platform. The three knobs under build
platform are used to raise or lower the
build platform on the left, right, and rear of
the build platform.
4. Place the leveling tool between the
extruder and build platform. If the leveling
tool cannot slide between the extruder and
build platform, adjust the appropriate knob
(turning counterclockwise) until you can
slide the leveling tool between the extruder
and build platform with some resistance. If
the leveling tool can slide between the
extruder and build platform too easily,
adjust the appropriate knob (turning
clockwise) until you can slide the leveling
tool between the extruder and build
platform with some resistance.
TIP: Standard printer paper can also be
used to level the build platform in the same
manner as the leveling tool.
5. Tap "Next" to move the build platform
toward the right knob and repeat step 4
above.
6. Tap "Next" to move the build platform
toward the rear knob and repeat step 4
above.
7. Tap "Finish" to complete the leveling
process.
8. Repeat steps 1 through 6 above to ensure
that build platform is completely level.
