7.2.2 Silent vs. Hi‐power mode
The printer offers two settings for motor power consumption. Silent uses less current and
makes the printer quieter, but less powerful. Hi­power is great for very large (over 200 gram)
prints and for freshly assembled kits before you fine tune everything. If you experience lost
steps (shifted layers) or if you’re manually adjusting speed of printing to more than 100%,
use Hi­power mode.
7.2.3 Factory reset
Printer can be reset to factory settings, for example if you select wrong language and can’t
locate the language settings menu.
1. Printer must be powered on.
2. Press and hold the rotary selector
3. Press and release the reset switch marked with X directly below the rotary selector
4. The printer will indicate a successful reset by beeping. You can then release the
rotary selector and wait for the printer to boot up.
