Important  notice:    There  are  many  factor  may  interfere  the  direct  USB  link  printing  can  cause 

stop in the middle. The Micro SD card printing is highly recommended.   

Removing Your First Print 

After your first print has finished, you need to wait for the part to cool down. Your parts will be 

easier  to  remove  if  you  allow  your  heated  bed  to  cool  down  to  optimal  temperature.  This  will 

allow the plastic to contract, making it easier to remove. Your print bed will move forward once it 

is ready to be removed. Once your heated bed has cooled, use the blue handled knife that was 

included  with  your  printer  to  remove  the  item.  Carefully  insert  the  blade  of  the  knife  between 

your print and heated bed. Once underneath the part rotate the blade- lifting with the sharp edge 

into the part, to gently pop the piece off your plate.

Full Settings 

Full settings should not be used until enough experience with 3D printing has been gained to feel 

comfortable  with  all  aspects  of  the  printer  and  its  operation.  The  simple  settings  will  provide 

good  results  for  most  models.  The  first  time  Cura  is  launched  it  will  default  to  the  Quick  Print 

interface.  In  order  to  have  more  control  of  your  slicing  and  Gcode  generation,  switch  to  Full 

Settings.  Select  Expert  >  Switch  to  full  settings.  The  following  tabs  will  now  be  available:  Basic, 

Advanced, Plugins, and Start/End-Gcode. You will also have access to the Expert Settings.
