Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do BFP-ICARUS 3D Printers use proprietary filament?
Absolutely not – you are free to use any 2.85mm filament. Because you
may be printing larger scale items, we highly recommend using quality
filament to ensure that large prints finish accurately.
What size nozzle is included?
Unless otherwise requested, all unit's ship with a 2.50mm heatcore for
large prints.
Why are there two Y Endstops?
Every time you Home the Y axis (including with Auto Homing the entire
printer), the two Y Motors will operate independently of each other. This
helps to "tram", or align, the two Y motors together so your Y axis is never
out of alignment.
What should I do if the aluminum bed does not look level?
The easiest way to level the bed is to run the Bed Tilt macro discussed
earlier in this manual. This will probe the bed in four spots and then
independently level the bed.
Why are my prints not sticking to the print plate?
Did you clean it with 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol? Is the bed
temperature correct? Is the first layer too high off the print bed? You may
have to print with an attached skirt to help with adhesion. You can also
slow down the first layer. First layer speeds should usually be between 20-
40mm/s pending the geometry of the part.
What temperatures are achievable?
The following are the temperature capabilities for the printer components:
Heated Bed:
Hotend:
