After some time, the printer will switch into DRY-Run mode, so that you
must restart the device if you want to start a new print job
2. 2. Operating modes of the X 1000
The X1000 provides various modes that enable you to perform dierent functions depending on your
current task.
2.1 Red/ Stand-by
When the X1000 is connected to the mains you can reach the stand-by mode by turning on the printer
using the key. After a short initialization phase the startup screen appears on the LCD display and the red
light will light up.
X1000 Standby
In this mode, you can keep the lid of the X1000 open and heat up the extruder heads and let material
extrude simultaneously. All other functions (like traversing the axis) are blocked for safety reasons. In
addition, the standby mode allows you thread new laments easily, to clean the nozzle or even to replace
it completely. Furthermore, the Repetier server is already booted when operating in standby mode, this
means that you can already upload G-codes to the X1000.

• bond to your build platform and may help reduce warping on large models.
• Generate Support – Turns on support material for your 3D print. Support structures are similar
Click Show Advanced at the bottom of the FFF Settings window to view additional options and settings that
are available within Simplify3D™ Software.
Previewing G-Code Files
“Slicing” is the term used to describe the process of translating a digital
model into line-by-line printer instructions called “G-code.” The software
slices the model into G-Code based on the variables you have selected in the
FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) Settings window.
These advanced setting should be modied by advanced users only!
We recommend visiting our Simplify 3D training to get familiar with the
advanced setting.
After you have finalized your Process settings, click Prepare to Print! to trigger the preparation of G-Code.
Simple models will be sliced in seconds, while complex models may take several minutes.
When your G-Code has been created, the software window will transition automatically to Preview Mode.
The animated Preview Mode in the Simplify3D™ Software allows you to inspect all aspects of your print operation prior to execution. The software takes your generated G-Code and virtually displays line by line how
your model will be constructed.

• Speed: Here you can adjust the working speed of your 3D printer. You can speed the printing process
up or slow it down. The used speed is calculated proportionally to the value which is stored in
the G-Code (100% = original speed; 150% = 50% faster than saved in the G-Code). The ow of the
extruder is automatically adjusted to the speed by the software, you don’t have to tweak it manually.
• Flow: The amount of lament that is extruded is determined by the ow. If the application rate is too
low, you can increase the output manually (in the past experience, 110% has shown good results).
Ideally, your slicing software should contain the correct value for the necessary extrusion multiplier.
• Fan: Here you can activate and control a fan in the work space. If your G-Code already contains orders
for the fan control it will over ride your manual conguration.
• Extruder: Here you can turn on your extruder and turn it o or control its temperature. In the register
Druckereinstellungen/Extruder/Extruder you can predene the temperatures that will be shown in

Adjusting extruder height
The left extruder is already set to working height and
serves as a reference point for the calibration of the
second/right extruder. Traverse the print bed to the
“Home position” and measure the distance between
the rst extruder and the print bed with an appropriate tool like a dial gauge or a feeler gauge. Use the
marked knurled screw in the picture to transfer the
height to the second extruder.
If the X1000 is delivered with two extruders, the left/
rst extruder sits lower compared to the right/second
extruder. This is intentional. We recommend for new
users to make their rst 3D printing experience with
only one extruder.
6.2 How to set up the second extruder
Follow this illustrated guide to put the second extruder into operation:
To put the second extruder into operation, the cover
of the extruders must be removed rst. Afterwards
the second extruder can be lifted or lowered by
using the knurled screw (highlighted in yellow).
Before you start setting up the second extruder
please note that you must heat up both nozzles to
the material specic temperature. Then you must
remove the clamped lament from the extruder and
clean up the hot end`s brass nozzle. You can use a
brass brush for this.
Even trace amounts of impurities could make it
impossible to align both nozzles correctly. If you are
having troubles with dripping lament allow the
hotends to cool after removing the lament.

When working with PLA lament please use a temperature of about 200° C. It is normal and sometimes inevitable
that during the heating process lament will drip out of the
nozzle.
First, use the tab “manuelle Kontrolle” of the LCD display to extrude a small amount of lament (ca
20mm). Then you must push out at least 60mm lament with the “retract” order.
Thereby all of the old lament will be released from the extruder.
As the next step the cladding from the tool slide must be removed. It is xed magnetically and can be
removed by lifting it up and o. Now you must pull apart the hose for the guidance of the lament. Now
you can pull out the old lament residues easily.
6.4 How to change the laments
when changing the laments, two cases must be distinguished:
• Exchange the laments in the idle state
• Exchange the laments when the lament sensor has triggered
Exchange in the idle state
To insert lament into the extruder and to perform a lament exchange you must rst heat the extruder to
the material specic temperature. For your rst 3D prints we recommend the use of PLA lament. This is a
very easy to use, biocompatible plastic material.
For easy handling traverse the tool slide via the display to the following coordinates in the working mode
(green):
X: 500mm
Y: 600mm
Then change to the working mode (red) and open the X1000`s maintenance cover. Turn on the extruder`s
heating elements and wait until they reached the desired temperature.
• Green: Turn on the desired
extruder on or o
• Brown: Chose the desired traver-
sing distance
• Red: Let material extrude (lament
will be pressed through the
extruder)
• Violet: Performs a retract (Filament
will be pushed out of the
extruder)

for extruder 1 (EX0) is marked in pink, the feed for extruder 2 (EX1) is marked in green in the pictures above.
Now pull the lament that need changing out of the guidance hose and coil it on the spool
Tip:
It is easier to thread the laments, when you smooth
the tail and cut it o diagonally.

After removing the old lament successfully, you can mount the new lament spool and thread the lament
through the sensor and the guidance hose until it appears at the tool head. Make certain that the extruder is
already heated to the right temperature before you insert the lament into the extruder.
Insert the lament as far as possible into the DD3 extruder and hold it also in position in the meantime. Now
you can, via the LCD display for example, let the extruder extract material until the new lament appears on
the bottom end of the extruder.
Threading lament X1000
Assembling guidance hose
Please make sure that the hose for the material guidance is reassembled correctly, before positioning the
cladding on the tool slide again
Exchange the laments when the lament sensor has triggered
The lament monitoring checks in real time if the X1000 possesses enough material for processing. If the
whole lament is used up during a print job, the device respond as follows:
• The heating bed will remain turned on to maintain the grip of the 3D object
• The tool head will turn o to, to prevent a clogging of the nozzle
• The tool slide will traverse to a parking position for a better handling
• The display will show the last set temperature with a negative sign. (e.g. -195°) This serves as a cache
for the used temperature. After the lament change the extruder will heat up again to the saved tem-
perature.
Please consult the previous chapter “Exchange in the idle state” before continuing.
The following procedure only diers slightly from the method described beforehand.

To change the lament while monitoring is triggered use the following method:
• Turn o the heating bed manually and switch into standby mode (red)
• Open the material tray on the right side of the X1000 and remove the empty spool
• Mount the new spool and thread the lament only through the monitoring unit
• The extruder will then heat up to the saved temperature
• Wait until the temperature is reached and extrude about 20 mm lament
• Then use the order “retract” to pull about 60 mm lament out of the extruder
• This should release it completely from the extruder
• Remove the tool head cover of the extruder slide and pull apart the material guidance tube
• You are now able to completely pull out the old lament of the extruder and the guidance tube
At the material tray:
• Now that the guidance tube is unobstructed push the lament through the complete tube until you
can handle it at the tool head.
At the tool head:
• Insert the lament as far as possible into the extruder and hold it also in position in the meantime
• Let the extruder extract material until the new lament appears on the bottom end of the extruder.
• Reassemble the tube for the material guidance and put on the cover on the tool slide again
Continue the 3D print:
• Close the maintenance hood and switch into work mode (green)
• Restart the heating bed
• Then press “Home X” and “Home Y”
• IMPORTANT: Perform this command twice to avoid misalignments in the 3D object
• Now you can press “Fortsetzen on the display to continue your 3D print”

If you want to change form PLA to PTAG lament, the nozzle must be heated up to the
higher material specic temperature. There could else problems occur when changing the
laments.
ATTENTION: If you want to use dierent types of laments consecutively, ush the nozzle
thoroughly before using the next type of lament” Then let at least 500 mm material
extrude to ensure that the nozzle will not get clogged.
General tips for the lament change:
Tip:
It is easier to thread the laments, when you smooth the tail and cut it o diagonally.
Tip:
Make sure that the extruder is not heated up for too long when it does not transport
lament, otherwise the hot end might clog
