Installation of the Builder Extreme PRO 

The  installation of the  Builder Extreme  is the  most critical part and needs to be  done  correctly, so 
please take your time to follow the installation steps in the video. The video below displays how to 
install the Builder Extreme step by step. Tip: pause and watch the video several times to follow the 
exact steps. The steps are also written out below.

Step 1. Unboxing 

Before you start to unbox  the machine, please check the condition of the packaging. Are there any 
damages on the foil or on the box? If not, you can proceed with the unboxing. If so, please take pictures 
and inform the shipment company about this. 
 
Remove the foil and straps from the box. Extras such as filament, air filter or spare parts are located 
on  top  of  the  box.  Remove  these  boxes  from  the  top.  For  the  2000  PRO,  the  extras  are  shipped 
separately. Now gently remove the top panel from the box and remove the black corners to be able to 
remove the side panels of the box. 
 

Step 2. Remove the Builder Extreme from the pallet 

Use a forklift truck to remove the Builder Extreme from the pallet and use a pallet truck to place it on 
a  levelled  concrete  floor.  Note:  the  Builder  Extreme  must  be  removed  from  the  pallet  before  you 
continue with the installation. The Extreme 1500 PRO comes with wheels. These are not installed when 
the machine is on the pallet due to safety reasons. When the machine is on the forklift or pallet truck, 
it is a good moment to install them. They are inside the accessory box.  
 

Step 3. Remove accessory box and safety brackets 

Remove  the  accessory box  from the build plate and  the  bubble  wrap from  the  frame. Now  gently 
remove the 6 yellow safety brackets from the belts inside the Builder Extreme. Note: the accessories 
for the 2000 PRO are located in the bottom drawer. To remove the bubble wrap from the frame, the 
doors need to be opened and this is only possible when the machine is switch on.  See installation
