2.1.2 Attaching the pump
2. Insert the pump nose into manifold.
1. Take the pump head without the cap.
Attach the assembled manifold to the pump.
3. Screw on the manifold until it is slightly tightened and the
manifold is perpendicular to the trigger. Do not over tighten to
prevent rupture of the manifold.
4. Attach the short straw to the pump.
Orientation of the straw should be
in the direction of applicator.

5. Screw on the assembled system to the Magigoo bottle.

2.1.3 Preparing for first use
Find a surface that can be easily cleaned.
For the first time use, the Coater system needs to be primed by
pumping several times until the adhesive starts coming out of the
valves consistently. After priming wipe the silicone roller with a
slightly damp cloth.
2.2.1 Before Coating
Prepare the build plate area where to apply the adhesive.
- The build plate area has to be thoroughly cleaned.
- The build plate area has to be well levelled.
- Any imperfection on the applied area may decrease the
consistency of the applied coating of adhesive.
How to clean the build plate:
Fill the provided spare bottle with water and attach spray head.
If possible, remove the bed from the 3D printer for cleaning. Clean
only when 3D printer is not operational and build plate is at room
temperature. If there are solid debris, use plastic scraper to remove.
Spray water on build plate or used Magigoo layer. Clean off with the
cloth.
2.2 Recommendations for use
!
Do not use hot water. Boiling or hot
water may damage the bottle for
water or the applicator system.
The build surface has to be very
clean. Any debris or uneven
surface will disrupt the application
of an even thin coating.

2.2.2 Coating
The Magigoo Coater is designed and built for use in FDM/FFF 3D
printing to cover the build plate of a 3D printer with a thin layer
of Magigoo and Magigoo Pro bed adhesives, to ensure reliable 3D
printing, reduce warping and provide easy release.
Before using Magigoo Adhesives, read through the adhesive safety
data sheet for safe use. Check that the Coater valves and the
applicator are clean and dry. If necessary, wipe the applicator and
valves with a damp cloth and/or wipe dry prior to using the Coater. If
the valves are still clogged, clean the manifold channels. See section
3.2.3 for Manifold cleaning instructions.
1. Place the applicator at the far end of the build surface as shown
in the image.
2. Pump the coater once. If the new glue bottle has been attached
and not primed, pump until the glue dots form on the surface/
applicator.
3. Slide across the bed, spreading the Magigoo adhesive. Roll back
and forth to smoothen out the surface.
Avoid using paper towels, as the fabric of the paper may stick to the
applicator roller.
When spreading Magigoo the
silicon roller might slip without
rotating. In this case the Magigoo
adhesive is still being effectively
applied.
How to apply:

4. Wipe clean the valves and applicator with a damp cloth
immediately.
Looking against the light you should see a very thin even coating of
Magigoo.
!
NB! If changing adhesive type in
between the use of the Coater,
the manifold channels have to
be properly cleaned. See how to
clean in point 3.2.3 Cleaning the
Manifold.

Introduction
2.2.3 Cleaning the manifold
When storing the Coater away or when changing the type of
adhesive , the internal channels of manifold need to be cleaned
thoroughly. Clean the manifold in a safe place away from other
people, ideally inside a sink or secondary container.
How to clean manifold:
2.2.4 Cleaning Build Plate
from the Magigoo
1. Remove the adhesive bottle and close with a cap.
2. Place the assembled manifold into a bottle with water.
3. Pump at least 15 times or until the water coming out looks
clean.
Water may spray in different directions.
Refer to 2.2.1. Cleaning the build plate.
!
Do not use hot water. Boiling or hot
water may damage the bottle for
water or the applicator system.

2.3 Adhesive compatibility
The Magigoo Coater should be used only with adhesives produced
by Thought3D under the brand Magigoo or other Thought3D
approved adhesives. The Magigoo Coater has been designed
to work with Magigoo and Magigoo Pro 3D printing build plate
adhesives. For more information on how to get the best performance
out of Magigoo adhesive products refer to User Manual for Magigoo
Products (www.magigoo.com/tested-materials) “GETTING THE
MOST OUT OF MAGIGOO PRODUCTS”. For safety, always read the
Safety Data Sheet for each glue type before use.

Maintenance
The Coater is designed to be used on a daily basis. The
components like applicator, valves and pump may lose
original functionality with normal wear and tear.
If applied coating is inconsistent, check if valves need
to be cleaned or replaced. The Coater should still
function well, with 1-2 valves not working properly.
If the Coater is not producing a thin layer when swiped,
check if there is any debris on the surface or if the
applicator has any damage. Removing the debris
from the surface or replacing the applicator may be
necessary.
Clean the valves and applicator after each use. Clean
the manifold when storing away for several days or
more or when changing the type of adhesive.
