Warning and Cautions Getting Started 1.1 Failure to read this user manual before installing and using the 3D printer may cause personal injury and/or property damage. HATCHBOX 3D printers generate high temperatures and include moving parts that may cause serious injury. Always connect 3D printer power cord directly to the wall outlet. Never reach inside the printer while it is in operation. Always allow the 3D printer build plate to cool down before reaching inside. Always allow the 3D printer hot end to cool down and reach the home position before reaching inside. Always ensure there are no moving parts before reaching inside. Before opening the 3D printer for service, ensure that the power supply is turned off, power cord is disconnected from the power supply, and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet. Due to the product melting plastic, operate the 3D printer in a well-ventilated, cool, dry and dust-free environment. Do not use the 3D printer without personal supervision. Do not touch the inside of the 3D printer during printing. Avoid long period use of the 3D printer. If the 3D printer is producing abnormal noise and/or smoke, immediately turn off the power switch, stop printing, and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Keep moving parts well lubricated and clean the 3D printer regularly. Do not use flammable solvents to clean the 3D printer. Always ensure screws on the extruder and arms are adequately tightened. Always perform automatic leveling when the extruder hot end and build plate is cold. Always check the Z-offset before printing. 06

Unpacking Printer 1. R e m o v e t h e t o p l i d o f t h e shipping box. 2. Remove the shipment padding. 3. Highly suggested: between 2 people, firmly hold the top of the 3D printer and carefully lift upward and away from the packaging. Place the 3D printer on a stable and leveled floor or table. Note: additional accessories may be taped onto the inside of the box. 12 Set Up 2.1

Unpacking Printer (cont) Set Up 2.1 4. Remove the 3D printer s plastic covering. 5. There are 2 layers of zip ties and foam padding protecting the rails. Use scissors to carefully cut the 1st layer of zip ties. Remove the 1st layer of foam padding. Use scissors to carefully cut the 2nd layer of zip ties. Remove the 2nd layer of foam padding. 6. Carefully move the extruder upwards by the rods to remove the foam padding and shrinkwrap,which are holding the build plate and accessories in place. 13

Build Plate Set Up 2.1 This is the glass build plate, which is also known as the bed. The build plate can reach a maximum temperature of 110 to effectively prevent warping of the model during printing. For PLA filaments it s recommended to use blue painters tape and ABS filaments it s recommended to use Kapton tape. Please view the 3D printer filament manufacture recommending setting and use of the build plate in order to properly print your model. 1. Attach three (3) of the four (4) binder clips to hold the glassbuild plate securely to the aluminum bed. There s enough room to place the glass build plate securely onto the aluminum bed, use your best judgment to center the glass build plate before securing it with the binder clips. 2 1 Build 14 3 plate

Filament Rack Assembly Set Up 2.1 In this section, you will learn how to set up the provided spool rack. The parts needed will be the 2 Filament Rack Knobs, Filament Rack Stand A, Filament Rack Stand B, Filament Rack Spool, and Filament Rack Rubber Feet. Before starting, ensure that the Filament Rack is set up on an even surface. Installation of the Filament Rubber Feet is optional, but is recommended if the filament rack is not going to be mounted. The hardware for the filament rack to be mounted is not included, but can be purchased at any local hardware store. Follow the steps below for the filament rack set up. 1. Match the Filament Rack spool with the F i l a m e n t R a c k S t a n d A, a n d s e c u re together with a Filament Rack Knob. 2. Insert your Filament spool onto the Filament Rack Spool. 3. Using the other Filament Rack Knob, secure Filament Rack Stand B to the other side. 4. Before fully tightening both Filament Rack Knobs, ensure that the legs of the Filament Rack Stands are level, and then tighten. 5. Optional tabletop use: Install the Filament Rubber Feet by inserting the smaller diameter part of the Filament Rubber Feet into the larger diameter wall mounting holes. Once inserted, do not slide the Filament Rubber Feet down to the smaller diameter wall mounting hole, as this may damage or cut the Filament Rubber Feet. 15

Powering the Printer Set Up 2.1 1. Plug the female end of the Power Cord into the 3D printer s Power Supply, which is located on the right hand side of the 3D printer (when facing the LCD Screen).

Once the Power Cord is connected and plugged into the wall outlet, power up the 3D printer by pressing the Power Switch down to the On (B) position. To power down, press the Power Switch up to the Off (A) position. Side View A. Off B. On 16 A B

3.1 Start Up 17

Automatic Leveling HATCHBOX Alpha 3D printer has an Automatic Leveling function that can be controlled by adjusting it within the LCD screen. This is the first step that is required to ensure proper first layer adhesion. Follow the steps below to continue with Automatic Leveling. 1. Once powered on, the LCD screen will automatically be set to the home screen, and it will show that the printer is ready. 2. Push the Function Button (located to the right of the LCD screen) to go to the Settings menu. 3. Rotate the Function Button until the Automatic Leveling option is highlighted. Then, push the Function Button and Automatic Leveling will begin. Before beginning with automatic leveling, the extruder hot end and build plate must be cold. If the extruder hot end and build plate are hot or warm, wait for it to cool down before proceeding with automatic leveling. Note: in this menu you will see the following options. a. Test Leveling: this will move the z-axis down to show you where the z-offset is currently set to (always perform this test before printing). b. Auto Leveling: this will perform the automatic leveling by taking three points of measurement on the build plate. c. Z-Position: This is where you will manually adjust the z-axis offset. By increasing the number, it will raise the z-axis. By decreasing the number, it will lower the z-axis closer to the build plate. d. Set Z=0: This will save the z-axis offset you have set in Z Position 18 Start Up 3.1

Automatic Leveling (cont) Start Up 3.1 Why is automatic leveling important? The distance between the hot end nozzle and the build plate should be adjusted to the proper distance in order to ensure first layer adhesion. If there is an issue, the Z-Offset parameter needs to be corrected. To correct Z-Offset paramaters, please refer to page 20. Do Not 1. If the hot end nozzle is too far from the build plate, the first layer may not stick. Do Not 2. If the hot end nozzle is too close to the build plate, the nozzle can scratch or possibly damage the build plate, or cause uneven first layer adhesion. Do 3. The distance should be about 100 microns between the hot end nozzle and the build plate. This can be checked by sliding a sheet of A4-sized paper between the hot end nozzle and the build plate. The sheet of paper should slide in between the hot end nozzle and the build plate with a bit of a tug. 19

Z-Offset Start Up 3.1 Warning: If your Z-Offset is not set properly and it is too close to the build plate, it can damage the hot end nozzle and/or the build plate. When correcting and setting the Z-Offset, be ready to power off the 3D printer immediately to prevent damage to the hot end nozzle and build plate. Adjust the Z-Offset to be farther away from the build plate and perform the automatic leveling function again. Repeat as necessary. Before correcting the Z-offset parameters, ensure that the hot end nozzle and build plate are cold. If it is not cold, allow it to cool down before beginning. 1. In the Automatic Leveling Menu, select Test Leveling. This will lower the z-axis to show where the z-offset parameter is currently set. 2. With a standard A4-sized paper, slide the sheet in between the hot end nozzle and the build plate. 3. If the sheet cannot slide in between the hot end nozzle and the build plate, the z-offset needs to be increased by adjusting the Z-Position (located in the automatic leveling menu). Adjust by rotating the Function Button to the left. The sheet of paper should slide in between the hot end nozzle and the build plate with a bit of a tug. If the sheet of paper slides in between the hot end nozzle and build plate easily, then decrease the z-offset by rotating the Function Button to the right. 20 4. Repeat step 3 as necessary until the sheet of paper slides in between the hot end nozzle and build plate with just a bit of tug. 5. Once you have dialed in the z-offset parameters in the Z-Position option, save the z-offset parameters by going to Set Z=0 and push the Function Button. This can be confirmed by going back into Z-position and you will see that it is set to 0.

Loading/Unloading Filament Start Up 3.1 Before loading the filament into the 3D printer, securely place the filament rack with the filament on top of the 3D printer. Loading Filament: 1. Manually feed the filament into the Filament Extruder while pressing down on the Filament Extruder Handle until the filament reaches about half an inch into the PTFE tubing. 2. Preheat the extruder hot end by following the steps below. 2.1. Go to the Quick Settings option. 2.2. Scroll down to highlight Preheat ABS or PLA and select the appropriate one to preheat the hot end. 2.3. Once preheating is complete, select Load Filament E0 within the Quick Settings menu. Unloading Filament: 1. Preheat the extruder hot end. If it is not preheated, follow Loading Filament step 2. 2. Once preheating is complete, unload Filament E0 within the Quick Settings menu select. 21
