Welcome
Your MakerGear Ultra One 3D Printer has arrived! To ensure
safety as well as high quality printing, carefully follow the
checkpoints laid out in this guide.
This printer was assembled at the MakerGear shop in
Beachwood, Ohio, USA, and was thoroughly tested to ensure
that it was fully operational at the time of shipping.
What’s Included

Important Safeguards
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not put the printer body,
cord, or electrical plug in liquid. If the printer falls into liquid, do not
touch it. Instead, unplug the printer from power outlet, then remove it
immediately. Do not reach into the liquid without unplugging the printer
rst.
4. This printer should not be used by children unless supervised by an
adult who understands the risks and precauons involved in its use. To
avoid potenal injuries, close supervision is necessary when the printer is
used by or near children.
2. Unplug the power cord when the printer is not in use. To unplug, grasp
the plug and rmly pull it from power outlet. You should never pull the
cord.
5. Avoid any contact with moving parts. The printer can move quickly, so
stay clear to avoid being struck or pinched.
6. Keep hands/hair/clothing away from printer aachments while the
printer is operang to reduce risk of injury to persons and/or damage to
the printer.
7. Do not operate the printer if it has a damaged cord/plug, is
malfunconing, or has been dropped or damaged in any way. If you
are having any problems with the printer (such as temperature errors,
unexplained shutdowns, or other errac behavior), unplug the printer
from power outlet and contact support. Do not operate a malfunconing
printer.
1. The following safeguards exist to ensure the safety of users and to
avoid potenal risks. Ignoring these safeguards can cause damage to the
printer and its environment.
8. Keep area around the printer clear. The enclosure door and lament
door move horizontally and vercally and may cause the printer to move
or damage other equipment if they strike them.

About Octoprint
The onboard soware supplied on the MakerGear Ultra One is a
specialized version of OctoPrint called OctoPrint for MakerGear. It is
an open-source, easy-to-use tool that gives users total control over
their 3D prinng work-ow.
OctoPrint’s basic funcons include simple tasks such as controlling
and monitoring your printer, as well as more advanced operaons
like slicing les. It can be expanded through its versale plugin
system, a diverse library of community developed plugins oering
specialized funconality, which is useful for all users.
Noce
This is a Class A product. In a domesc environment, this product may
cause radio interference requiring the user to take adequate measures
to migate. The MakerGear Ultra One can, in very rare cases, stop
operang due to electrostac discharge (ESD). Operaon can be
restored by turning the machine o and on again.

Important Tips and Informaon
Main Enclosure Door
Keep the main enclosure door closed except when loading lament,
preparing your bed, or removing a printed object. This will deliver
beer print quality and more consistent results as well as keep
everyone in the area safe. There are many pinch points and heated
components inside the enclosure around which to be careful. When
opening and closing the door, ensure that no one could be potenally
harmed by the moving mass.
Nozzles and Hot Ends
The nozzle is the brass conical piece with a six sided base. It aaches
to the other parts of the hot end and dispenses material through a
precisely sized hole. If you wish to remove or change the nozzle,
you must rst remove the enre hot end. Aempng to unscrew
the nozzle directly from the Ultra One will damage the hot end.
Glass Build Plate
The lm of yellow polyimide tape on the Ultra One’s glass build
plate funcons as the print surface and is on both sides. Once an
object has been printed and the build plate has cooled, users can
remove the build plate by rotang the build plate clips in each corner.
Removing a print from the build plate can be done by further cooling
the glass plate with compressed air and tapping the object soly unl
it releases. Tools used directly on the plate may damage the lm.
USB Port
G-code and .stl les stored on a USB drive in a folder named “toprint”
(case sensive) will be automacally copied to the internal storage of
the Ultra One in the folder named “USB”.
Cancel Buon
To immediately cancel a print and stop any machine operaons, press
the cancel buon. Before resuming use of the printer, ensure that
the cancel buon is not pressed in. We recommend re-boong your
printer aer hing the cancel buon.

Warranty & Support
New Ultra Ones ordered from MakerGear or from an authorized
MakerGear distributor have a Twelve-Month Limited Warranty.
MakerGear will replace defecve parts on Ultra Ones that are
under warranty. Replacement parts may be new or refurbished
and include free shipping in the US. Non-US customers are
responsible for shipping costs for replacement parts.
The Ultra One has an open design (no proprietary lament
cartridges) and Ultra One owners are free to use third party
lament. However, the MakerGear hot end is only covered when
MakerGear lament and authenc MakerGear components are
used. Due to variance in quality, MakerGear is unable to provide
technical support for issues related to third party lament. If
you are using lament or extruder components from a third
party, you must contact your supplier for technical support. The
twelve-month warranty oered by MakerGear does not cover
printer abuse.
