Best Practices
33
1. ALWAYS USE PROVIDED GLUE STICK.
2. Ensure your build platform is level before
every print.
3. For proper adhesion of filament to the
build platform, regularly wash the glue
from the build platform with warm water,
dry the build platform, re-apply a fresh
layer of glue and re-level.
4. Ensure spool is installed properly and
can rotate freely.
5. When using your Dremel 3D45 for the
first time or after changing filament, allow
Dremel 3D45 to extrude until material is
consistent with the installed filament
color.
6. It is important to watch your Dremel 3D45
begin building objects. Your object is
most likely to experience difficulty in the
beginning. Thankfully, this is also the
most convenient time to cancel the
object, clean the build platform, and start
your object again. Remain near the
Dremel 3D45 during the building process.
7. It is important to save your Dremel 3D45
packaging as it will make re-boxing and
transporting your Dremel 3D45 easier.
8. Ensure that you store filament spools in
an environment that is not moist or too
hot. It is recommended that you do not
remove the filament spool from its airtight
packaging until use.
9. Use object removal tool gently to avoid
damaging the build platform or object.
10. Whenever possible, it is best to locate
your object in the center of the build
platform. Using the best orientation for
your object is critical. Ensure that your
object is located on the build platform
and that you are using the best
orientation for building.
11. For steep overhangs (Less than 45
degree angle) it is recommended to build
with support.
12. Always remove the build platform before
removing the object.
Maintenance
UNCLOGGING THE ExTRUDER
Use the unclogging tool to clean the extruder
and unclog built up filament, fig 9.
1. Click on the filament change button on the
screen and wait for extruder to heat up. As
filament starts to purge, insert the unclog
tool into the extruder intake (top).
2. Clogged debris will be pushed down and
will extrude from the extruder tip. You
should push the unclog tool all the way
down to ensure all filament is purged. You
do not need to push with excessive force,
as this may damage the extruder.
