• The print heads can be very hot - do not touch them with bare hands unless positive they are cool.
• As with any automated machinery make sure that your body is clear of the moving parts to avoid injury.

5. Select “Print Settings” from the menu on the right hand side
6. From menu, select desired slice height, and verify that the first layer material is set to support.
7. Open and place build tray into F270, making sure that the tray is locked in place by pulling up on the front locking arm until arm is PARALLEL to build tray.
