Operating the 3D printer

Preparing your print bed

If you’re using the PEI bed which is default on the desktop series or you have a basic glass plate, we recommend
you clean the plate with a spatula if printing remains are there.

After this, clean the plate with some Isopropanol (PEI sheet) and a towel. For a glass plate, hand warm water is
sufficient. In case of some remaining grease, use some Isopropanol. Make sure the bed is completely cleaned
and don’t touch the plate after cleaning.

If you’re not using our PEI sheet but a clean glass plate (without PEI sheet) we recommend using an adhesion
product like spray (3DLac) or hairspray (make sure it’s sticky). In some cases using glue sticks (Elmer’s Washable
School Glue) will work great too. Make sure you not to use too much of the adhesion product as this will make
the adhesion to the bed worse.
