Xplore 3D PROTO, Quick Start Manual

Page: 16 / 18

HOW TO PRINT
1. Make sure you have disabled your computer’s hibernation or suspend to
disk function. If the computer goes into hibernation or suspend to disk state
while something is being printed, you will be unable to resume this task and
you will have to start again.
2. Make sure the adhesive tape is in an acceptable state. If it’s damaged, it
should be replaced as described in point 4 of ‘Installing XPLORER 3D PROTO’.
3. Check to see if no kind of object or filament debris is on the printer table.
4. Import the 3D model you wish to print. You can find a range of 3D models
in the SD-CARD, online or you can create your own 3D model by using
modeling software (tutorials included).
5. Make sure you’ve followed the steps laid out in XPLORER ENGINE’s printer
calibration/bed leveling wizard.
6. Click on the “Load” button in XPLORER ENGINE and select the file you
imported.
7. Click on the “Print” button and select the desired printing options.
8. XPLORER ENGINE will prepare the selected file for printing (a process called
“slicing”), which may take a few minutes. Once it’s ready, the printing
process will begin.
