• CraftUnique CraftBot, 35 The first steps LOADING THE FILAMENT (continued) Changing or removing the current filament already fed into your CraBot’s extruder If you intend to change the color or filament type first of all take warning that forcefully pulling it from a cold extruder could potentially damage vital components. To remove the filament correctly, the extruder must be heated. Once the filament has cooled it will leave a thicker section of previously melted material in the extruder itself, creating a certain “knot” that acts as an anchor when trying to retrieve it cold. It simply won’t fit back out of the passage way. To r

• CraftUnique CraftBot, *The CraBot should be operated on a flat and even surface parallel with the ground. *CraBot should never be used in high traic footpaths, or any footpath or walk- way for that matter. It should not be used in any area were any outside interfer- ence to the unit could occur. *Keep small children away from the CraBot printer, as moving parts could be at- tractive to them. Although, children can receive great educational benefits from CraWare and the CraBot 3D printer, the mechanism itself is not a toy, but rather it is a tool. Serious injuries can result if CraBot is not regarded in this w

The two outside rods are smooth and the center rod is threaded. These three rods are known as the “Z-axis rods”. Place a folded paper towel, or a lint-free rag, behind the center threaded Z-axis rod. This rag is used to protect other areas of the printer from any overspray that may occur. AREAS OR PARTS OF THE CRAFT
