8.3 Functionalities
• Magnetic detachable covers - fully transparent covers allow for a clear, not obstructed
view of fabrication processes. For easy cleaning and maintenance of the machine,
covers can be removed thanks to the magnetic mounting system. Covers removal is
described in
• External spool holder - designed for reliable filament unwinding during the 3D printing
process. Mounted on the back of the machine doesn’t obstruct filament path and
doesn’t take any additional space on your desk. Spool holder mounting is described in
• Closed-Loop System - controls the current position of the toolhead in X and Y axes.
Whenever detects the difference between the real and theoretical position of the tool-
head, applies a correction algorithm to ensure the best quality of fabrication. It is also
used as a protection system in case of severe positioning problems (like blocked tool-
head).
• Toolhead changing system - quick and repeatable method for mounting different
ZMorph toolheads. Properly mounted toolhead will ensure high-quality fabrication
whether it is additive or subtractive manufacturing. Toolhead change is described in
• Platform leveling - to ensure proper first layer adhesion your printing bed must be lev-
eled. ZMorph has developed special software and mechanical solution to make the
leveling process easy and reliable. There are both automatic and manual calibration
methods available. Calibration methods are described in

of this manual. Please remember that automatic calibration is available only for 3D
printing toolheads.
• Filament change - an additional feature that can be performed during printing with
both single and dual extruder. Allows for easy change of material to achieve either
multi-colored or even multi-material models.
• Hibernation - a special software feature that allows to turn off the machine. During
hibernation toolhead position is saved and later restored upon booting machine again.
