QUICK START GUIDE

Hello, friend! There’s a learning curve to printing

with Palette+. Please pay attention to the setup

instructions. They include tips and best practices

to get you printing with Palette+ as quickly as

possible and can save you headaches later.

Welcome!

2

NEVER plug Palette+ into a

computer (USB) while Palette+

is powered on. The only time you

need to connect Palette+ with your

computer is to update firmware.

Don’t touch Palette+’s hot tool

when it’s hot. It hurts!

Palette+ is only compatible with

1.75mm filament.

Do not perform any

maintenance on Palette+’s

internal systems while Palette+

is powered on (or risk electrical

shock or injury, and potentially

damage to Palette+).

In the rare instance that you

hear Palette+’s drives skipping

(or any other unusual clicking

noises), do not force filament

into Palette+. Cancel the print,

unload filament, and unplug

Palette+, then remove the top

cover to check for jams or

blockages.

Critical Warnings

SERIOUSLY, THESE ONES ARE REALLY IMPORTANT

To unload filament from Palette+,

select Utilities > Unload Inputs.

If you must unload filament

manually, pull the filament

slowly (or risk electrical damage to

Palette+).

If your printing environment is

staticky, Palette+’s LCD screen can

occasionally go blank or display

random characters due to static

discharge. If this occurs, simply allow

the print to finish. The static only

affects the screen; the print should

be unaffected.

Never place Palette+ on its

screen. Doing so can damage the

screen.

This filament can be fed into your printer and

used on any model to create a layered print.

Best Practices • Maintenance: Clean your Palette+’s drive gears as needed

(about as often as you clean your printer’s drive gears)

• Ensure filament spools can unspool without too much force

• For optimal performance, use filament from the same

manufacturer – they tend to splice and stick together best!

• Ensure printer and slicer settings are well-tuned for single-

material prints before attempting Palette+ prints
