START A PRINT
Now the build plate has been leveled and filament loaded you're ready to start your first print! We've placed some print
files on the SD card to start with. Simply select one of the files and press the button to start.
After a print file has been chosen the Ultimaker 2 will prepare itself by homing the print head and build plate and
heating up the build plate and nozzle. Please note that this can take up to 5 minutes.
While printing, the display will show the progress of the print and the remaining time for completion. When the print has
finished, wait for the build plate to cool down and grab the print from the build plate.
NOTE: For good platform adhesion it is recommended to apply a thin layer of glue to the glass plate. Therefore you
can use the glue stick delivered with the Ultimaker 2. Look at page 20 for detailed instructions.
CAUTION: Don't touch the print head/nozzle while it is heating, printing or cooling down. Temperatures can reach
up to 260°C.
