2. Overview

Thank you for choosing Einstart 3D Printer. It is designed with ultimate portability and

simplicity in mind. The system and software allows you to print great models with only

a few keystrokes, even if you have never used a 3D printer before. The system uses a

nozzle to deposit molten plastic to make a solid object layer by layer, so printed parts

are strong and durable.
