DOOR LOCKS

Sensors are used to communicate the status of the oven door and the top cover to the printer. For safety
reasons, the oven door and top cover must be closed before the X, Y, and Z motors will operate.
Electromagnetic locks ensure that the oven door and top cover remain securely closed when the printer is
building.

STABILITY PADS

1. Set the stability pad jackscrews:
Caution: The stability pads must be set prior to commencing printer build
operations to ensure build quality is not degraded due to motion and
vibration from the XY gantry.
A. Thread the jackscrews downward until they make contact with the floor.
B. Turn the jackscrews an additional 1 -2 turns downward and set the locknut firmly against the
lower frame member.
Note: Ideally, each caster wheel will remain in slight contact with the floor
and using minimal force, be able to be rotated.
