LEVELING BUILD PLATFORM
Do not touch the extruder
tip during Dremel 3D40
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.
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.
1. Make sure you have placed Build Tape on
Build Platform and no objects are present.
Applying Build Tape after leveling may
effect the consistency of your object.
2. Tap "Level" on 3D40's touchscreen.
3. The extruder and build platform will move
into position to level the build platform.
3D40 will first check level at the back
center of the build platform. The two
knobs under the build platform are used to
raise and lower the build platform on the
left and right. The extruder contains a
sensor that detects if the bed is level, no
additional tools are necessary.
4. The touchscreen will indicate if your build
platform is too high or too low. If the build
platform is too high, adjust the appropriate
knob by rotating right until you hear a
"beep" and the touchscreen indicates that
it is ready to verify that the bed is level.
5. If the build platform is too low, adjust the
knob by rotating left until you hear a
"beep" and the touchscreen indicates that
it is ready to verify that the bed is level.
6. Tap "Verify" to check the bed level. If
further adjustment is needed the
touchscreen will indicate the direction, if
the level is correct, the extruder will move
to the next point and the level process can
be repeated.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the second position,
when you bed is fully level the extruder
will automatically move to the calibration
position and complete the leveling
process.
