3. Set up for first use
In this chapter, you will learn how to unbox your new printer and set it up for
first use. This includes installing some hardware components, completing
the welcome setup, and ensuring that you have the necessary software and
accounts to start printing.
Note: Only skilled persons are allowed to install or move the machine.
Warning: Due to the size and weight of the printer, the UltiMaker Factor 4 is considered non-portable. Do
not attempt to carry the printer, but use proper means to move and install this product, such as a forklift or
similar device.
Falling hazard: Always keep the printer vertical; do not tilt the machine more than 10º to prevent it from
falling over. This can extensively damage the machine and may cause serious injury or death.
3.1 Location
Before unboxing, choose a suitable location to install the UltiMaker Factor 4. Take the following into
consideration:
•
Install the product on a flat, level, and stable surface that is capable of carrying the printer's weight
(~ 130 kg / 287 lbs).
•
The recommended height of the installation surface for ergonomic operation of the UltiMaker Factor 4 is
650 mm (26 in).
•
Unless the printer will be installed on a movable cabinet, there must be sufficient space around the printer:
•
Back: Ensure that the back of the printer is accessible for maintenance purposes; keep a clearance of
650 mm (26 in) behind the printer. If the printer must be placed close to a wall, the surface area must be
at least 800 x 800 mm (31.5 x 31.5 in) to safely rotate the device.
Front: There must be at least 700 mm (27.5 in) of clearance in front of the printer to fully open the door.
•
Top: There must be at least 150 mm (6 in) of clearance above the printer for unrestricted airflow.
•
•
The UltiMaker Factor 4 must be positioned out of direct sunlight when in use.
•
The ambient conditions must be well controlled and never exceed the maximum recommended operating
temperature. When the printer is used in ambient temperatures outside of the recommended range, optimal
performance cannot be guaranteed.
