X350 3D-Printer Quick Start Guide
Congratulations for purchasing your professional X350 desktop 3D printer
Please note that the most recent version of this manual is
always available on our websites. At the time of delivery, it
may happen that the included instruction manual is
out-dated, and there is more current information on the
online documentation.
The stable construction and the high quality components make the X350 the ideal printer for
industrial applications. The X350 is a reliable workhorse, regardless of whether you print for one hour
or for several hours.
The landscape format printing bed allows for a more efficient use of the printing area, as most printed
objects are not square. The integrated web interface is a highlight, as it enables printing through the
wireless network or the LAN, and control through a browser interface. The X350 will print stand-alone,
or integrated into the wireless network or the LAN while being controlled through a browser interface.

tried and tested software Simplify3D™, an innovative filament management system with an
automated feeder, and the easy to level 3-point printing bed.
The X350 runs with our most recent drive technology. The DD3-Extruder and the Full-Metal-Hot end
are easy to control. The highlights: No adjusting necessary, and a variable contact pressure for soft
materials.

Starting up
Instructions
During shipment of the X350 it may happen that the limit switches shift. This should be checked, and
adjusted.
Warning: Do not fasten the screws too tightly!
The heated printing bed (ceramic) of the X350 is covered in a PET film. ABS and PLA stick to this film
very well. However, this film can get damaged, or lose adhesion after some use. In this case, you can
acquire a new film from us.
The processing PLA (Polylactic acid) is also possible without the PET film on the printing bed. You can
find further details about that in the Overview of filament types in our Wiki, or in the section of the
same name within this instruction manual.
Setting up the printer
The printer is to be plugged into a 230V power outlet via the power cord. The included network cable
allows you to connect the printer to the home network. This is also necessary if you want to use the
printer through the wireless network later. For the first setup, an Ethernet connection is required.

Levelling the printing bed
In order to level the printing bed, the following steps are necessary.
Heat up the printing bed to room temperature
●
Set the z-axis to its home-position using the control panel: Press the button →”Position” → “Home Z”
●
Wait at least 10-15 minutes to let the printer acclimatise
●
If necessary, turn off the holding torque of the motors using the control panel: Press the button →
●
“Quick Settings” → “Turn off motors”
