1. Introduction & Getting Support
Thank you for purchasing Fusion3’s F410 3D printer! Your F410 has been designed and manufactured to the
highest quality standards to give many years of reliable, high-quality output with minimal maintenance.
This quick-start guide is designed to help you get printing quickly. It is not a comprehensive manual! A full
user manual is provided on your SD card, and is also available on our website (links to content in Section 14
at the end of this guide).
This is a complex piece of equipment, and there is a learning curve involved. Your 3D Printer is a machine
tool, not an appliance (like a microwave). Please be prepared to invest the time to learn how it works and
how to get the most out of it.
We are here to help you get up this learning curve. Please contact Fusion3 Customer Support via phone at
877-452-0010 x2 or via email at [e-mail] if you are confused or have any questions!

3. Unboxing Your F410
1. Cut the plastic wrap off the box
2. Cut the plastic tie-down straps
3. Lift the lid straight up off the box

Page 5
4. Remove the top foam blocks
(4 total) and the welcome
packet located on top of your
printer. Inside you will find
this quick-start guide.
5. Carefully lift the sleeve straight up
and off the box. Sometimes this is easier with two
people.
6. Locate your toolkit box in front of your printer and
remove it from the bottom tray.
7. Use 2 people to carefully pick up the printer. Lift
it out of the bottom tray. The foam endcaps may
stay attached –that’s ok. Set it on the ground
next to the pallet and remove the endcaps one at
a time from the printer. Take care not to step in
the bottom tray as your spare glass bed is under
your printer.
8. Now you are ready to move your F410 to its final
home (see next section).

9. Under your printer attached to the bottom tray will
be your filament and spare print surface.
IMPORTANT: Please retain all packaging materials (3 pieces of the box, pallet, foam
endcaps). In the unlikely event you need to send your printer back to Fusion3 for repair
you will need the packaging materials. The tube can be collapsed for relatively compact
storage.

4. Where Should I Put My F410?
Surface must be capable of supporting 120 lb
Must be at least 31” x 30” in size
Should be sturdy enough to resist shaking
during the printer’s operation
The rear face of your F410 must be at least 2”
from any wall or obstruction
The right face needs enough clearance for
the power cord and for the operator to reach
the power switch.
5. Moving your F410
Your F410 is a 2-person lift only! It weighs 85 lb.
On the left and right faces are cutouts that
function as hand-holds.
Remember this is a piece of precision equipment:
Do not subject it to shocks,
drops, or bumps.

6. Setup
Once your F410 is placed where you will operate
it, you can finish the setup process.
1. Remove the protective films from the outside
of the 3 main door windows and the filament
door.
(This may generate a static charge that attracts
dust in the first few days of operation. Gently
wipe the windows with a damp paper towel to
remove the dust if needed.)
2. Remove the protective film from the LCD.

Page 9
3. Open the main door and remove the Z axis shipping support. You
may need to move the Z axis up slightly by gripping the belt with
your hand and pulling sideways gently.
4. Connect the power cord and Ethernet cable
(optional). For more information on setting up,
including connecting your F410 to your
network, see section 3.6 in your user manual.
Check that the power switch is in the OFF (“O”)
position before inserting the power cord.
Sometimes it can get bumped during shipping or
unpacking.
5. Power on your printer. Wait 3-5 seconds for it to
boot up.
6. Navigate to the Maintain Printer > Motors screen.
Press the “Home X” button on the touchscreen
and make the sure the printer moves smoothly
and stops when the X endstop is triggered.
7. Repeat this process for Y and Z. The print head
should be in the front left corner and the bed
should be at the bottom.
INTERNATIONAL USERS: YOU WILL NEED
TO CHECK THE INTERNAL POWER
SUPPLY’S VOLTAGE SELECT SWITCH
BEFORE POWERING ON YOUR F410.
PLEASE CONTACT FUSION3 SUPPORT FOR
ASSISTANCE.
DO NOT POWER YOUR F410 ON WITHOUT
PERFORMING THIS STEP!

8. If you purchased the optional exhaust filter, remove it
from the toolkit box and screw it onto the back of the
printer over the upper exhaust fan. The screws are also
located in your toolkit box.
7. Loading Filament
1. Slide the filament dowel through the center hole of the filament spool. Orient the spool so that the
filament pays off the front underneath the spool.
2. Using one hand on either side of the spool, slide the dowel into the track in the filament bay. The dowel
will drop into the groove in the track when it’s positioned correctly.
