Robert Bosch GmbH DM 2610039151 01-16_3D40 1/7/16 9:33 AM Page 32 Best Practices 8. Use object removal tool gently to avoid damaging the build platform or object. 1. ALWAYS USE BUILD TAPE. 2. Ensure your build platform is level before every object. 9. Whenever possible, it is best to locate your object in the center of the build platform. Using the best orientation for your object is critical.
2. Add the 3D40 firmware file to an empty, FAT32 formatted, USB flashdrive. UPDATING FIRMWARE VIA NETWORK If your 3D40 is registered and added to your Dremel3D profile, you can update its firmware directly from the touchscreen. To update firmware: Robert Bosch GmbH DM 2610039151 01-16_3D40 1/7/16 9:33 AM Page 33 3. Turn off your 3D40 using the ON/OFF switch. 4. Insert the USB flashdrive into the USB-A port. 1. Tap “Tools”, “Settings”, “Check for Updates”. 5.
Robert Bosch GmbH DM 2610039151 01-16_3D40 1/7/16 9:33 AM Page 34 Troubleshooting Reorient the position of the 3D file in Print Studio to minimize the support material or place the support material on a non-critical surface. Spaghetti mess at end of build. A layer of your object did not stick properly, model was saved with minimal surface area contacting the build platform, or object was built floating above the build platform with no support selected.
Check 3D40 network settings and retry connection. Token invalid. Verify the current 3D40 token using "Tools/About" and retry. Use "Get new token" to generate a new token and retry connection. Note this will remove any users that are sharing your printer. Build did not start when sent over network. Filament ran out. Load additional filament and resume build. Doors open. Doors must be closed to start builds over your network, start build from print queue.
