Set Up; Remove Protections; Install Printing Surface - BCN3D Sigma Series User Manual

Set up

In order to ensure the safe packaging and transport of the printer, some of the components are sent in separate
packages. Before starting to print with the BCN3D Sigma Series printer, those parts need to be installed in order
to complete the setup process.
For any query while setting up the printer, please refer to section
Follow the steps below to prepare the printer:

Remove protections

Foam protections are set during the packing process in order to protect some parts that may move during
transportation. It is very important that the foam protections are removed before printing. Follow the
instructions:
• Remove all the protection foams inside the printer. There are three on the carriage and one under the printing
surface.
Install plastic covers
• Take the plastic covers and thumbscrews from the packaging.
• Peel off the protective films.
• Use the thumbscrews to install the plastic covers.

Install printing surface

The BCN3D Sigma printing surface is the area where the hotends deposit the material layer by layer to construct
the model. It is very important that the printing surface is correctly installed before printing. Follow the instructions:
Watch our video to see how to correctly position the printing surface.
• Pivot the left and right spring clips away from the aluminium platform.
• Take the glass printing surface from the upper protective foam.
• Place the glass printing surface on top of the aluminium platform.
• Insert the glass with light force into the back spring clips.
• Fix it with the left and right spring clips.
The glass printing surface glass must be handled with care. In case of breakage, it may cause injuries.
