2. setting up your printer

Plug the print head cable into the socket on the print head.
It can be inserted only one way round. Ensure the plug is fully
seated in its socket.

Now attach the build plate base to the build support, using
the four countersunk bolts supplied. Ensure they are driven
fully home so that they do not sit proud of the surface of
the build plate base.

Offer the print guard up to the print head, ensuring the
tubular sockets inside it engage with the two posts projecting
from the print head. As you do this, make sure the cable wraps
around to the left and is kept above the two posts.
ii
Fit the build plate to the build plate base, engaging the two
corner recesses at the back and the centre recess at the front
clip. We recommend you add masking tape to the plate to
improve print adhesion; do this before clipping it into position.

The print guard is secured with a single Phillips screw;
access to the screw hole is via the slot in the top of the
printer. Take care not to overtighten.

Reattach the hood. Guide the sides carefully into place so that
they engage smoothly with the rails. Note also that the hood
goes on only one way round, with the side-rails closer to the
back of the printer than to the front.
