holders.
Now you can see the top of the printer, as well as some other boxes inside it. The large box with
the black wire is the accessory box; this contains the extruder(s), SD card and other important
components. Don't remove the accessory box or its contents yet.
Note: Do not lift the box by
the black cable! Doing so could damage it.
Now take the Creator X out of the box using the two handles on the sides of the printer or by
gripping the inner sides of the frame, as shown in the photo below. Gently lift and transfer the
printer to your work surface. You will find the extruder in the protective packaging along with
the black cable, carefully remove it and place it on your work surface.
Remove the cardboard packing material and take the accessory box from the printer. Set it
aside for later.
The build platform should now be visible. It is an aluminum plate covered in a thin polyamide
film (Kapton tape). This is the surface that your objects will be printed on.
Remember: Do not
remove the film.
