Machine workflow

• Turn on the computer.
• Turn on the machine.
• Check the binder level. Fill all four tanks with binder at least over the binder extraction pipes at the back side of the tanks. Don't fill them too much since the binder ages in the tank.
• Close the caps softly, don't apply pressure.
• Check the cleaning tank levels at the center bottom part of the machine: the left one should be almost full (cleaning liquid) and the right one should be empty or almost empty (residual liquid).
• Check the powder recycling can (bottom right side of the machine). Use this powder in order to fill the printing bed.
• Prepare the printing bed.
  • 1. Take the machine offline pressing the 'online' button.
  • 2. Open the machine hood.
  • 3. Move down the material container pressing the left down arrow button (Feed) and fill it with printing powder. Remove the air in the powder shaking carefully with the tools provided (inside the bottom left compartment).
  • 4. Flatten and compress the powder once the container is full.
  • 5. Bring up the printing bed pressing the right top arrow (Build). The bed should stay a few millimeters below the top level of the container frame.
  • 6. Flattening!!??
• Close the machine hood.
• Put the machine online pressing the 'online' button.
• Run the ZPrint software.
• Open your STL file, select the units for your model, and the powder type (ZP150). The STL file should be a proper closed volume model with coherent normals.
• Move, scale and rotate the model as you want in order to optimize the printing process. Try to foresee the difficulties that you will encounter in the removal process as the printed parts are very fragile.
