Preparing your printer 

 

Opening the box 

 

The uBuild-3D Mr Bot 280 printer is very well packaged in a five-card carton and 
foam-protected polyethylene. 

Open the box and remove the protective cardboard with polyethylene foam. 

Lift the printer with your hands as shown below. 

 

 

 

 

 

Setting up the printer 

 

After removing the packaging, to operate your printer you only need two steps, 

a)  assembling  the  LCD  display,  and  b)  installing  the  spool  holder.  Your  printer 
settings are entirely based on the relevant function menu.
