5.Thread tip of new filament through guide tube, place spool on spool holder, replace spool door by aligning locking tabs and rotating clockwise, see figure 1.

6.When you place a roll of Dremel filament into the spool holder, the printer will auto-recognize the filament type and adjust the printer settings to be optimized for the filament you are using. (This will bypass any print settings loaded in your sliced file).

NOTE: You have the option to enter advanced printer mode to manually alter print settings after you change filament. Please check all settings (if manually entered) as improper settings may cause prints to fail, property damage, or personal injury, see “Filament Type and Settings” chart on page 21. NOTE: You also have the option to enter advanced printer mode, which allows you to pull print settings from the saved sliced file. This will prevent the printer from altering its print settings. Please check all settings prior to printing as improper settings may cause prints to fail, property damage, or personal injury.

7.If changing existing filament, 3D45 will automatically purge existing filament.

8.When Feed Filament screen appears, tap the arrow on touchscreen and thread filament coming from guide tube into extruder intake until extruder feeds through on its own, see figure 2.

NOTE: Ensure the gears inside of the extruder have properly grabbed the filament before you finish the filament change. You will feel a tug and see the filament start to feed itself into the extruder when this occurs.

9.Filament will be drawn into the extruder and begin to exit from the hot extruder tip.

NOTE: Your Dremel 3D45 was tested by building objects before leaving the factory. These test objects may have been made with a different filament color than you are using. Therefore, a small amount of filament may be remaining in the extruder.

10.When new filament appears from extruder tip, tap “done” on touchscreen to complete filament load process, return to main menu, and calibrate extruder. Carefully remove excess filament without touching hot extruder tip. If necessary, carefully remove debris from extruder tip with needle nose pliers.

27

BEST PRACTICES

MAINTENANCE

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.

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 too 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.
