6 Your first print

At this stage all we've done all preparations and we're at the final step to convert your idea or 3d file into
reality.
In the manual control window do the following.
-
In case of dual extrusion, select the extruder of choice.
-
Heat up the extruder to 195 degC
-
Heat up the heated bed to 55 degC
-
Move the table down 10mm
If the extruder and heated bed are warmed up, check or make sure that the following is true:
 Printer axes can move without obstructions
 Remove all plastic residues on the heated bed, preferably with the supplied tweezers
 The heated bed surface is clean and degreased.
 When all axes are homed, the hot-end is not touching the table.
Make sure the table is moved at least 10mm away from the extruder tip and insert the supplied PLA filament in
the extruder.
Run the extruder until a steady flow of plastic comes out.
NOTE: When there is not a continuous flow coming out of the nozzle, make sure the
extruder arm is properly tensioned. Turn the m4 bolt
tension on the filament, so the filament will be pulled into the hot-end better. But watch out,
too tight and the motor will have a hard time turning, and in the worst case the filament
might be squashed so wide that it gets clogged into the hot-end.
