Please take care and read each step fully before viewing the photos and animations that accompany them.
What you will need:
Scissors and/or side cutters.
Floor space at least the size of the package itself.
Stable surface to place the printer on once removed from packaging.
Step 1:
Cut open the box, and remove the power cable and paperwork from the top of the box. Then remove the top foam piece.
Step 2:
With the help of a second person, reach into both sides of the box, and slowly lift the printer out from the bottom. Then place it on a sturdy surface.
Step 3:
Remove the bag from around the printer, then begin removing the blue packaging tape and protective film. Then you can open the front door and remove the large foam piece from inside.
NOTE: There are tools, and a spare print bed inside this block of foam.
Step 4:
Remove the remaining foam and roll of filament from inside the printer.
Step 5:
One final piece of foam is sitting next to the extruder motor, behind a cover. You may pull this cover off by gripping it from behind, and pulling outwards. Then the foam block should simply wiggle out of place. Put the cover back in place once you're finished.
Step 6:
Unpack the power cord, and plug the printer in. Then switch it ON.
Step 7:
The first step we must take is to calibrate the printer. To do this tap 'Maintain' > 'Calibration' and allow the printer to set up for this task.
Step 8:
Fold an A4 piece of paper in half, and place it on to the platform, underneath the print head. Then tap the '-' icon until you feel a small amount of friction on the card. Once you feel friction tap 'Done'. The printer will then automatically calibrate the remaining parts of the print bed.
Step 9:
Using the Calibration Card from the previous step, repeat Step 7 on each point until the sequence is finished.
Step 10:
Having finished calibrating the printer, it's now time to load the filament. Tap 'Prepare' > 'Filament' > 'Load'. Once the printer has reached the correct temperature, push the filament into the inlet, and tap 'Next'. The printer will then automatically feed filament into the machine.
Congratulations!
