6 CALIBRATE
It is advised to calibrate the Bolt once before
use. Please note that the use of 3D Spray is
preferred, but when using a print sticker, it is
strongly advised to apply the sticker on the
whole surface before calibrating the bed.
Go to Settings, Maintenance, Calibrate bed
and press Continue calibration.
7 LOAD FILAMENT
Get the filament spool you would like to load
into the Bolt and cut the end of the filament
in a point.
On the top of the Right print head you will find
a orange push-in coupling at the end of the
filament tube. Disconnect the tube from the
print head by pushing the blue ring down and
pulling the tube upwards.
Change the distance between the nozzle and
bed by changing the height of the bed. The
knobs underneath the bed raises or lowers
the print bed. Use the knob closest to the
calibration point.
Check the distance between the bed and
nozzle for all four positions to calibrate the
print bed. When all positions are calibrated,
press OK, to end calibration.
Calibration uses four positions for the print
head as shown on the screen. Pressing a
position will move the head to the designated
position.
At each position, the distance between the
bed and nozzle should be checked, this should
be roughly 0.150mm or as thick as a standard
print paper sheet.
To do this, use a piece of regular paper to check
the distance between the nozzle and the bed.
Try to move the piece of paper underneath the
nozzle. The distance is correct if the paper gets
slightly stuck between the nozzle and bed. Open de filament drawer on the right side of
the Bolt by removing the black cover.

8 PRINTING
In order to successfully complete your print,
the print bed should be clean and provided of
an adhesive layer to adhere the first critical
layer of your print to the print bed.
To provide the print bed with an adhesive layer,
we advise to use 3D Spray. Spray the 3D spray
over the bed in a thin layer.
The end of the placed filament should be
visible now, if not, feed more filament through
the filament drawer.
Press ‘Swap right’ on the software’s Print
tab, select the material you want to load and
set how much filament there is left on the
filament spool.
Press load, the nozzle will heat up and wait
until the nozzle is heated. Gently push the end
of the exposed filament of the tube, directly
into the coupling until the print head grabs
the filament by itself and feeds it through the
nozzle.
Your filament will be correctly loaded if the
filament extrudes from the nozzle by only
pressing the ‘extrude more filament’ button.
Place the tube back on the print head by
pushing the tube firmly into the push-in
coupling.
The Bolt is ready to print. Go to the Jobs tab
and select the pre-installed Bolt sample print.
Press play to directly go to ‘Start Print’.
Find the filament guide hole in the filament
compartment near the back of the Bolt.
Feed the filament in the hole until the end of
the filament sticks out of the disconnected
filament fube. Note that the filament should
unroll from the bottom of the spool. Place the
filament spool in de designated spool drawer
and close the compartment.

In ‘Start Print’ you can select the desired print
mode. Load an additional filament in order to
use Sync or Mirror mode, or select normal
print and press Start Print.
You have successfully finished your first print.
