2.1. Intended Use
The CraBot printer makes three-dimensional objects from molten filament in only one printing step. First you need
to create the objects using a CAD program and save them as *.stl, *.obj or *.3mf files. Then you need to use the Cra-
ware or Craware Pro sliceware to convert your CAD files into print objects for the printer. Transfer your file to your
CraBot printer via a USB stick or WiFi.
2.2. Improper Use
Only accessories or spare parts supplied or approved by CraUnique may be used on this product. The use of other
accessories or spare parts can impair the safety of the device and increase the risk of serious injury, damage to the

4.2. Welcome wizard- Calibration
1. Please make sure that the bed is clean and there are
no residues / dirt on the nozzles. You can use the
metal brush to clean the nozzle.
2. Remove every object that may be blocking the bed
moving all the way down.
◊ This process will take roughly 30 min. in total.
Don’t worry: most of it is automatic due to our
mesh leveling system.
3. Push Next on your screen.
4. In the first stage the printer will automatically check
the lowest point of the bed can reach and also heat
up the heads to PLA 215C° temperature. Press Next
to start the automatic process.
Offset calibration
The offset calibration requires manual adjustment on the
printer. This calibration process calibrates the following
parameters:
Z limit distance: Required for resuming a print job.
BL-Touch - nozzle offset: Required for the assisted bed
and mesh bed leveling.
Bed leveling
»Make the build plate parallel to the XY mechanics,
and set the 0 distance between the nozzle and the
build plate.
»The assisted bed calibration requires you to manually
adjust the build plate. It will be adjusted using the 3
knob screws at the boom of the build plate. There
is one knob at the front in the middle, and two in the
back le and right corners of the build plate.
»At the beginning of the process the printer measures
the distance between the build plate and the nozzle
tip using the BL-Touch sensor. If the distance is not
optimal, calibration will begin.
»The print head begins the measurement at the front
center calibration point. At the boom of the screen,
you can see the scale of the measured distance.
»If the nozzle is too far, the markings are densely
spaced. The arrows below the markings indicate
which direction the knob should be turned to achieve
optimum adjustment.
»To achieve the optimum value, the meter should be
wrapped between two prominent lines.
»Aer 3 optimal measurements, the NEXT buon
appears. If one or more of the 3 measurements is out
of range, the calibration will not continue and will
need to be adjusted using the knob.

»Press the NEXT buon. The head is positioned above
the back right buon and then above the back le
buon screws.
»Repeat the procedure for the remaining two knobs.
◊ If the measurement is correct, the Next buon
appears. Pressing the buon will proceed to the next
measuring point. Once all three measurement points
have been completed, the printer will re-check the
distances.
◊ If all is well, the measurement process is complete.
Mesh bed leveling
Creates a map of the build plate and compensates for
any surface inequalities while printing the first few layers.
For this calibration, no user intervention is required.
During the process, the printer measures the build plate
at 3 different temperatures: 60°C, 80°C, 100°C
(140 °F, 176 °F, 212 °F)
This process takes 15 minutes to complete.
FMS calibration
This calibration will measure the Filament Monitoring
System (FMS) sensor values and adjust them if necessary.
Make sure you select the correct type of filament on the
screen. The head heats up to the correct temperature.
Aer it has heated, load the filament to the extruder.
To extrude filament from the print head, use the down
arrow on the touch screen.
»Press and hold the buon to keep extracting filament
through the head.
• Automatic filament feed can also be performed
by pressing the Load buon on the
boom bar.
◊ By pressing the buon once, the head automatically
extrudes some filament.
Filament loading is successful when the melted filament
flows out of nozzle evenly and vertically.
• Caution! The freshly spilled melted filament is
hot. Avoid contact with spilled filaments or other
flammable materials in the nearby.
»Press the Next buon.
Aer successful FMS calibration you can print some cool
things.
