Material Station

The Ultimaker S7 is compatible with the Material Station. If these products are installed together, some installation steps are different. These have been marked with a Material Station symbol.

Install the Ultimaker S7

The Ultimaker S7 should be lifted by at least two people during installation.

Choose a suitable location for installation of the Ultimaker S7: a flat, level, and stable surface that is capable of carrying the printer's weight (~ 35 kg / 77 lbs). Take proper measures to prevent the printer from falling.

The Ultimaker S7 must be positioned out of direct sunlight when in use. Ensure there is at least 10 cm of space behind the Ultimaker S7 for unrestricted airflow.

If the Ultimaker S7 is going to be installed in combination with the Material Station, place the Material Station first. Place the Ultimaker S7 on top of the Material Station and ensure the two products are correctly aligned. Including the Material Station, the total weight is up to 57 kg / 126 lbs.
