The box does not have a bottom and the printer will sit directly on the pallet, so please take care when unboxing and moving the printer. The printer and cabinet are heavy and require two people to move or set up.
- Page 7 Note: The print head will become hot during the plastic loading process. Exercise caution when working near the nozzles. Only use materials that have been approved by Markforged for use with this printer. The Industrial Series is designed to work only with proprietary materials and consumables from Markforged.
- Page 8 INDUSTRIAL PRINTER QUICK START GUIDE Always follow proper procedures when storing plastic materials. Nylon or Onyx that has absorbed too much moisture from the air will often cause underextrusion, which can in turn cause print failures. Please take special care to never leave plastic materials exposed to ambient air, and always keep plastic materials in the provided drybox.
- Page 9 INDUSTRIAL PRINTER QUICK START GUIDE Place the plastic filament spool on the spindle and attach the spindle cap such that the magnets connect. Place the spool and spindle in the drybox such that filament exits from the of the spool. Note: The plastic spool is wound under tension.
- Page 10 INDUSTRIAL PRINTER QUICK START GUIDE Carefully unwind 2.5ft (75cm) of material from the spool, then re-apply the tape to keep the rest of the material from unspooling. Note: To avoid bending the material, tape it to the inside of the spool wall. Use wire cutters or a similar tool to trim off any filament that appears bent, as it may be difficult to load.
- Page 11 INDUSTRIAL PRINTER QUICK START GUIDE When the fiber is under tension on the spool, remove the tape from inside the spool and set it aside for later use. We recommend taping it to the front face of the spool. At the end of the Load Fiber routine, remove the cut piece of fiber from the print head. SET UP YOUR PRINT BED Before printing a part, you will need to level your print bed and apply glue to the region of the bed where the parts will print.
