Filament Runout Sensor A sensor in the extruder intake that pauses your printer if it runs out of filament
during a build.
Filament Spool A cylindrical piece on which a long strand of filament is wound for storage and
continuous use.
.g, .gcode and .g3drem Buildable file formats compatible with your Dremel 3D45.
Glue Stick Non-toxic and acid-free stick of glue that is applied to the build platform to help prints
stick.
Leveling Knobs Knobs located under the base of the build platform that allow users to easily level the
build platform before each print.
Leveling Sensor A sensor that detects the height of the build platform and assists in proper leveling.
Lid Your Dremel 3D45 has a pivoting lid on the top. This allows for more access to the
build platform, extruder, filament, and objects when necessary.
Needle Nose Pliers Common tool used to hold small objects and to grab excess material that may be too
hot to touch directly.
Nylon Synthetic polymer that provides strong and flexible prints with heavy wear resistance.
OBJ File A common digital file format used in a wide range of 3D model software. This file is
created in 3rd party 3D software or downloaded from www.digilab.dremel.com.
Object Removal Tool A tool used to separate your objects from the build platform.
PETG A thermoplastic filament that combines flexibility, strength and durability similar to
Nylon but is easier to print, similar to PLA.
PLA A bioplastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch.
Spool Holder A plastic piece located to the left of the build platform inside your Dremel 3D45 build
area that is designed to hold a filament spool.
Spool Door A removable door which locks the filament spool to the spool holder.
Stepper Motor A brushless DC electric motor used to drive the guide rails and extruder gears.
.STL File A common digital file format used in a wide range of 3D model software. This file is
created in 3rd party 3D software or downloaded from www.digilab.dremel.com.
Touch Screen Full color display that is touch activated. It allows you to monitor your Dremel 3D45
and objects while also providing commands directly to your Dremel 3D45 without the
use of a computer.
USB Flash Drive A portable memory card used on a wide array of devices.
WIFI A local area wireless networking technology that allow electronic devices to
communicate.
X-Axis Guide Rails A set of rails on either side of the extruder that allow a stepper motor to move the
extruder to the left or right side of the build area.
Y-Axis Guide Rails A set of rails on either side of the build area that allow a stepper motor to move the
extruder to the front or back of the build area.
Z-Axis Guide Rails A set of rails located at the back of the build area that allow a stepper motor to move
the build platform up or down.
