5.5 Heated bed modification
When printing long parts or parts that need additional heating for a longer period, the machine can be adjusted for a
longer hot zone. This is often used when printing with filament that requires a heated bed above 80 degrees Celsius
and is bogger then 100 x 100 mm in length and height. Printing in ABS or colorFabb HT often requires this
modification.
Before taking these steps make sure the printer is turned off, the power cable is unplugged, and the bed is
cooled down to room temperature < 30 °C
For parts that extend the heated area during printing, we recommend doing a onetime modification to the printer.
This will not affect the printing performance for the other materials. To extend the heated zone for long adhesion to
the belt.
1. Take a number 5 Hexagon key
2. Loosen the 4 bolts indicated with the arrows in [1].
3. Push the front plate backward until it’s aligned with the hot plate. This will increase the hot zone of the
printer.
4. Fix the bolts before plugging the power cable back in and turning the printer back on.
