INSTALL MATERIAL BOTTLES
For the purpose of the Demo print, we will use only two bottles of support material and
two bottles of part material. Make certain that the two bottles of part material are the
same type.
1. Unpack the material bottles from the cartons. Save sleeves and material carton to
store partially used material bottles.
2. Press and release the upper left material delivery module to open it. Install two
bottles of support material into the MDM. Press on the top of the material bottle
until you hear a click to make certain the bottles are fully seated. Vent the bottles
by loosening each cap 1/2 turn.
3. Press and release the upper right material delivery module to open it. Install two
bottles of part material into the MDM. Press on the top of the material bottle until
you hear a click to make certain the bottles are fully seated. Vent the bottles by
loosening each cap 1/2 turn.
As previously stated, only two MDM are loaded with material for the Demo print.
Subsequent print jobs will require all MDMs to be fully loaded with both support and
part material.
MATERIAL DELIVERY MODULES (MDM) AND MATERIAL BOTTLES
The 3D printer system has a total of four material delivery modules (MDM). Each MDM holds two bottles of material. This provides for a total
of four bottles of support material and four bottles of part material.
Support material is loaded into both MDMs located on the left side of the machine, for a total of four bottles. All bottles of support material must
be the same type.
Part material is loaded into the MDMs located on the right side of the 3D printer system. The upper MDM is designated MDM “A” and the lower
MDM is designated MDM “B”. The distinguishing feature of this 3D printer system is that you may use two different types of part material.
Two bottles of part material A are placed into MDM A and two bottles of part material B are placed into MDM “B”. Do not place different
materials into the same MDM. Placing different build materials in the same MDM will generate a mixed material part.
