What is mElephant?
Makeblock mElephent 3D Printer is the new generation of Makeblock 3D printer, which is a 3D
printer based on an open source and aluminum frame.
Makeblock studied very hard on the 1st generation Constructor I 3D Printer, and made huge
improvement. With the most steady and concise Prusa i3 structure, delicate brand new designed
OLED screen, automatically print bed leveling module, and more powerful integrating control
panel, mElephant is the most powerful 3D printer in Makeblock ever!
mElephant matching with Electronics (RAMPS1.4 shield, Mega2560 compatible board) and
software (Crua,Printrun), you can get high-quality prints and extreme precision, XY Resolution:
0.1mm, Layer Resolution: 0.1-0.3mm. You can enjoy so much fun from your own 3D printer and
even use it for prototyping, printing art craft, models, sculptures or toys.
mElephant also can be extensioned to a 4-in-1 machine (3D printing, Laser Engraving, Drawing,
CNC) with additional parts.
No matter if you are students, office clerks, designers, engineers, educators or inventors, you can
always bring your ideas to life by printing out objects such as prototypes, various models,
homehold articles, phone cases, toys, and mechanical parts to build your robots.

9. When the temperature has already reached 179°, get ready to put the
filament into the nozzle.
10. The filament will curve naturally , so make sure to straighten the
front-end of the filament in order to insert the filament into the extrusion
head smoothly.
