Micro 3D Printer User Manual : The First Print

1. Quick Calibrate Often a successful first print layer leads to a successful print! To be sure your printer is ready for its first print, select the Gear Icon to open the printer settings. Then go to the Calibration ​section where you can select Advanced Calibration​. Now select the Recalibrate Bed Location​button. This will begin the Quick Calibration process, which should take no more than 5 minutes

*DO NOT TOUCH The Micro During

Calibration*

Keep the printer on a level/stable surface during any calibration sequence. There is  the option in the M3D Software to manually adjust the calibration height of your  Micro. Please visit www.PrintM3D.com/support for detailed videos and documents regarding calibrating The Micro.

2. Load the First Model

Loading a model into the printer is simple; just drag the model from the Recent

Models​library to the printer. Your first model is already loaded in the M3D Software. We recommend printing this model first as a test calibration. 

Select the Open Model​button in the top left corner of the M3D Software to browse for other 3D Models on your computer. 

Other models can be downloaded from sites like Thingiverse.com and Yeggi.com. These files must be .STL or .OBJ file types.

3. Watch Your First MicroPrint!

Click the Green Button​to open the print settings menu and begin your first print. For

your first model, we have already pre-loaded the best settings, so all you have to do is press print!

*Look Out!*

We encourage you to get into the habit of watching the first few layers of your print and paying attention to two things:

Nozzle Height

Only a piece of paper should fit between the print bed and nozzle tip. If not,  Recalibrate!

Peeling/Warp

You should typically stop your print and adjust the User Offset Values in that corner
