HOW TO PRINT

There are two different ways in which you can print via your Polaroid PlaySmart 3D Printer;
either via the LCD screen or via the Polaroid PlaySmart Mobile App.
NOTE: You must first have the file of your model that has been sliced and is ready for
printing. For instructions on how to do this, please see below:
'Polaroid SmartPrep Software'.

Printing via the LCD screen
1. Ensure your model is saved to either SD card or USB and then insert into the corresponding
slot on the front of the printer.
2. Select 'New Print' from the top left corner of the LCD screen.
3. Next, select SD card or USB depending on where your file is saved.
4. Select the model that you wish to print.
5. Select 'Confirm' to verify you have selected the correct model and wish to start printing.
6. The printer will then begin automatically. The print bed will rise towards the top of the
printer and the print head will position itself in its home position (towards the front left
corner of the printer). The nozzle and bed temperature will then start to increase and
printing will begin once the target temperatures have been reached. NOTE: This may
take a few minutes so please be patient; you can watch the progress of the temperatures
via the LCD screen.
NOTE: You can monitor the progress of your print via the green progress bar at the top of
the screen which shows the percentage (%) of printing that has passed and the remaining
time in minutes and seconds.

Printing via the Polaroid PlaySmart Mobile App
NOTE: Before printing via the Mobile App you must first pair your
printer with your phone. To do this, press the menu button
top left corner of the screen in the App and choose 'Select a printer'. Any
previously paired printers will appear here. To add a new printer, click
the '+ Add printer' button at the bottom. You will be asked for your serial
number or to scan the QR Code which can be found via the LCD screen on
the printer, under 'Settings' and 'Pair the Printer'. When completed please
click 'Confirm' to complete the process.
Your Wi-Fi must be turned on and connected for the pairing to complete.
Please do so by selecting 'WLAN' from 'Settings' on the home screen of
your printer LCD and then selecting your network.
After following the process above, please follow the steps below to print
via the Mobile App:
1. Whilst in the 'Workspace'
from the top left-hand corner.
2. You can then choose a model from the SD Card, USB or Mobile Library.
Selecting SD Card or USB will show the models available on those
devices if installed. Selecting Model Library will open up our online
catalogue of models to choose from.
