Check if the Bolt is switched on at the back of the printer near the power-cord and switch on your printer using the on/off button at the front.

5 BOLT SOFTWAREThe Bolt is fitted with our most advanced software. It is WiFi accessible and provides printing modes, maintenance and more.

Check our manual for more information about the capabilities on the software.

A short overview of the software can be found below.

6 CALIBRATEIt is advised to calibrate the Bolt once before use. Please note that the use of 3D Spray is preferred, but when using a print sticker, it is strongly advised to apply the sticker on the whole surface before calibrating the bed.

Go to Settings, Maintenance, Calibrate bed and press Continue calibration.

7 LOAD FILAMENTGet the filament spool you would like to load into the Bolt and cut the end of the filament in a point.

On the top of the Right print head you will find a orange push-in coupling at the end of the filament tube. Disconnect the tube from the print head by pushing the blue ring down and pulling the tube upwards.

Change the distance between the nozzle and bed by changing the height of the bed. The knobs underneath the bed raises or lowers the print bed. Use the knob closest to the calibration point.

Check the distance between the bed and nozzle for all four positions to calibrate the print bed. When all positions are calibrated, press OK, to end calibration.Calibration uses four positions for the print

head as shown on the screen. Pressing a position will move the head to the designated position.

At each position, the distance between the bed and nozzle should be checked, this should be roughly 0.150mm or as thick as a standard print paper sheet.

To do this, use a piece of regular paper to check the distance between the nozzle and the bed. Try to move the piece of paper underneath the nozzle. The distance is correct if the paper gets slightly stuck between the nozzle and bed.

Open de filament drawer on the right side of the Bolt by removing the black cover.

8 PRINTINGIn order to successfully complete your print, the print bed should be clean and provided of an adhesive layer to adhere the first critical layer of your print to the print bed.

To provide the print bed with an adhesive layer, we advise to use 3D Spray. Spray the 3D spray over the bed in a thin layer.

The end of the placed filament should be visible now, if not, feed more filament through the filament drawer.

Press ‘Swap right’ on the software’s Print tab, select the material you want to load and set how much filament there is left on the filament spool.

Press load, the nozzle will heat up and wait until the nozzle is heated. Gently push the end of the exposed filament of the tube, directly into the coupling until the print head grabs the filament by itself and feeds it through the nozzle.

Your filament will be correctly loaded if the filament extrudes from the nozzle by only pressing the ‘extrude more filament’ button.

Place the tube back on the print head by pushing the tube firmly into the push-in coupling.

The Bolt is ready to print. Go to the Jobs tab and select the pre-installed Bolt sample print. Press play to directly go to ‘Start Print’.

Find the filament guide hole in the filament compartment near the back of the Bolt. Feed the filament in the hole until the end of the filament sticks out of the disconnected filament fube. Note that the filament should unroll from the bottom of the spool. Place the filament spool in de designated spool drawer and close the compartment.

The software will provide you with information on the current print. Be careful when touching the surface of the bed. The bed can be heated while printing, and still be warm after printing.

The print job will be done when a notification appears on the top of the screen.

In ‘Start Print’ you can select the desired print mode. Load an additional filament in order to use Sync or Mirror mode, or select normal print and press Start Print.

You have successfully finished your first print.
