  • Page 4: General Information

    German RepRap The X1000 is a professional 3D printer, especially designed for processing various plastic mate- rials with extra-large work area and optional double extruder. With a layer thickness up to 0.1 mm und a printing surface of 1000x800x600 mm, this 3D printer can produce either big models or several small objects with the highest precision.

  • Page 5: System Requirements

    • Mac OS X 10.6 or newer • Ubuntu/Debian Linux • OpenGL 2.0 Please note that you must use one of the following browsers to establish a connection with your X1000 3D printer. • Chrome • Firefox Microsoft´s Internet Explorer is not supported 1.3 Additional options...

  • Page 6: Operating Modes Of The X 1000

    X1000 Standby In this mode, you can keep the lid of the X1000 open and heat up the extruder heads and let material extrude simultaneously. All other functions (like traversing the axis) are blocked for safety reasons. In addition, the standby mode allows you thread new filaments easily, to clean the nozzle or even to replace it completely.

  • Page 7: Green/ Work Mode

    RepRap 2.2 Green/ work mode To switch from standby mode to work mode to w After successfully booting the X1000 you must first close its lid. Then you must press the green switch underneath the LCD display. When the green switch is light up the lid will be locked automatically and the device is now ready to start a 3D print.

  • Page 8: Emergency Stop

    Allow the building platform to cool down, the object will be much easier to remove. The X1000 has two machine zeros. Besides the actual one the other one is located half way up the building platform. When operating the two-hand circuit this prevent pushing the printed object into the main- tenance lid.

  • Page 9: Network And Printer Set Up

    If necessary, contact your network administrator about integrating the X1000 into your network. If your network settings are DHCP based, the X1000 is automatically assigned an IP address. If this is the case the X100 just has to be connected through a patch cable to your network.
