Place:
Click the “Auto Place” button, on the far right of the toolbar, to automatically place the
model on the platform. When there is more than one model on the platform, using “Auto Place” is
recommended.
By Hand:
Press the Ctrl key and choose the target model by pressing and holding the left mouse
button. Move the mouse and drag the model to the desired position.
Using the “Move” button: Click the “Move” button on the toolbar, choose or input the distance in
the text box, and then choose the axis for the direction in which you want to move.
NOTE:
When more than one model is loaded, the gap between each model should be kept to at
least 12mm to prevent the models sticking together. If printing multiple models, you can move
them closer and then merge the models together. Click “Edit” menu, click “Merge” which com-
bines multiple separate models into one model, this can be saved as an UP3 file.
9.5 Other Maintenance Options
Click “Maintain” on the “3D Print” menu, and the following dialog box pops up:
(Windows version)
(Mac version)
Extrude:
Squeezes material out of the nozzle. Click on this button, and the nozzle is heated.
When the temperature is high enough (260°C), the material is squeezed out of the nozzle. When
the system beeps, feed the filament into the hole
(it might need a small push for the filament to
grab it)
then it will start extruding, it will beep again when finished. When changing the material
(See section 6), this function is used to deliver the new material to the nozzle. This function can
also be used to test whether the nozzle is working correctly.
Withdraw:
Withdraws the material from the extrusion head. When the material runs out, or the
nozzle needs to be changed, click this button. When the nozzle is up to temperature (260°C) and
beeps, gently pull out the material. If the material gets stuck, pull it out it by hand.
New Spool:
This is used so the printer can keep track of how much material has been used, and
warn you if you don’t have enough material left to print your model. Click this button and enter
the value of how many grams of material you have on the current spool. If it is a new spool, the
quantity should be set to 700 grams. You can also specify whether the material you are printing
