Match each plug with the
corresponding plug on the
control unit. See diagram
below for reference.
3. Plug in Attachments
a) Plug in the thermistor
located toward the rear
of the machine.
b) Plug in the bed heat
indicator light located on
the filament bar.
c) Plug in the filament sensor
located on the filament
bar.
4. Attach Wiring to the Base Unit
Locate the power outlet location toward the right, rear
side of the base unit.
Plug in the cord from the print bed unit into the cart.
Locate the power cord—stored within the storage
drawers of the 3DP Workbench—and attach to the cart
unit.
Plug the power cord into the power outlet.
Important!
Follow the initial actuator alignment
process PRIOR to powering the machine.
6. Verify Emergency Stops—E-Stops
Verify the E-Stops, on the front and rear of the machine.
Make sure they are in the pulled-out position.
5. Powering the Machine
Power the machine after the alignment of the actuators
has been confirmed with the Initial Actuator Alignment
Process.
a) Turn the switch, located on the power outlet on the
base unit to the on position.
b) Press the green power button on the control unit.
Note:
To completely power-down and eliminate the draw of electrical
current, the power switch on the cart must be switched to the off position.
Initial Actuator Alignment
Prior to powering up the machine, move the X axis to the
end of the build area, as shown. Gently push both sides
simultaneously
so the actuators move smoothly until
they reach the end. This will eliminate any racking

or
misalignment.
Wiring Connections & Setup
1. Locate the Control Unit
The control unit is stored within the storage drawers for
initial shipment. Unpack the unit and place it on the front
work area of the base unit.
2. Attach Wiring to the Control Unit
Route the Cart Cord (attached to the base unit) through
the designated wiring pass-through in the front of the
print bed unit.
Initial alignment of
the actuators must
be completed prior
to powering up!
