2. Filament Storage Area
Open the doors of the printer by pushing on the lower part of the frame. This area
is used for storing filament spools. Only use filaments authorized by the printer’s
manufacturer.
2.1. Filament Entry Points
The filament storage area contains two filament entry points, each for a different
type (or color) of filament. Both entry points contain a sensor that detects whether
filament has been fed into the feeder tube, as well as detecting whether filament
has run out during printing. If this occurs, the printing process is paused and the
user is prompted to end the printing job or to replace the filament.
The left filament entry point is considered primary. The right filament entry point is
considered secondary.
2.2. Spool Holders
The filament storage area contains two spool holders. The spool holders have been
constructed to carry a maximum of 2 spools weighing up to 10 kg. Only one spool
may be placed on each spool holder.
3. USB Connector
The USB connector is used for connecting external USB devices to the printer, such
as USB flash drives, external USB power supplies, or memory card readers. Please
check with the supplier/manufacturer the compatibility of any USB device not part
of the delivery.
4. Electrical Installation
The electrical installation components are located behind a locked door. The
printer’s power supply, output electronics, and communication bus system are
covered by a metal plate. The visible, uncovered section, contains motor control
units, fuses, and circuit breakers. Do not handle the motor control units when using
the printer.
4.1. Fuses
The fuses protect the low-current circuit of the printer. If a power surge (the
excessive consumption of electric current) occurs, the fuses will blow – this will
generally happen during an overload or in the case of a short circuit. In order for the
printer to become functional again, the fuses must be replaced (see chapter 9.7
“Replacing the Fuses”, on page 34).
4.2. Circuit Breakers
The printer’s wiring is protected by circuit breakers. If a power surge (the excessive
consumption of electric current) occurs, the circuit breakers will be switched off–
this will generally happen during an overload or in the case of a short circuit. In
order for the printer to become functional again, the circuit breakers must be reset
(see chapter 9.8, “Resetting the Circuit Breakers”, on page 35).
