Poetry4 The 3D professional printer Poetry4 is a precision device, designed, developed and assembled in Italy by qualified personnel. Before leaving the factory, it was subjected to a quality control with suitable prints to check for correct accuracy and calibration, in addition to a test to ensure operation. Before attempting to operate, it is important to learn the terminology used in this manual and recognise the various parts that compose Poetry4. - Page 10 13. Tubes for filament supply 14.

Page 36: Removing The Printed Object
The Poetry4 plate and its surface are optimised to increase the adherence and prevent the object from being detached from the surface, avoiding these unpleasant inconveniences. - Page 37 The warranty does not cover repairs or replacements of the plate and its mat due to damage or malfunction caused by the user through improper use of the appliance or due to non-compliance with the instructions provided. The user can still replace damaged parts by contacting the Ira3D technical support. IRA3D User Manual: POETRY4...
-
Page 38: Printing Surface And Materials
If adhesion is lost during solidification, it is very likely that printing can be damaged due to detachment from the plate before the object is completed. The Poetry4 plate is designed to solve this problem, but each strand may react differently once printed. -
