4.15 Installing the camera

A camera is used to automatically start a print, which checks whether the object has been correctly removed from the printer and ensures that the print bed is free for the next print. Carry out the following steps to install this camera.

  1  Remove the 2 screws located on the left side of the top printer frame.
  2  Take the camera mount and the power supply unit. Place the power supply cable in the channel of the holder so that the power socket protrudes 6-7 cm.
  3  Place the bracket on the left side of the upper printer frame, align the bracket with the holes of the removed screws and reinsert the fixing screws. When properly installed, the camera's power supply cable is concealed under the bracket.
4Position the camera in the recess provided in the holder.
5Connect the power cable to the camera.

4.14 Installing the filament sensor on the filament box

1Open the chamber and locate the cable inside.
2Lay the cable out to the front and connect it to the sensor.
3Insert the sensor into the slot and pull it downwards.

4.13 Installing the printhead cable

1Locate the 2 fixing holes for the print head cable holder on the back of the printer.

2		Attach the bracket and tighten the screws using the 3 mm Allen key supplied.

4.5 Removing the transport fastenings


1		  Remove the adhesive tape holding the print surface to the print bed.      
  2  Cut the cable tie that secures the ramp to the print bed for transport.    
  3  Remove the ramp from the print bed.    
  4  Remove the black protective film from the surface of the print bed.  

4.3 What is in the box?

On top of the protective polystyrene you will find a small bag containing the printer parts.

In the bag you will find:

  1. Filament tube
  2. Two small 1.5 mm thick plates
  3. Filament sensor for material escaping from filament box
  4. Cleaning filament
  5. 3mm hexagon spanner
  6. Power cable for the filament chamber
  7. Screws
  8. Cleaning brush for the nozzle
  9. AC power cable for the printer
  10. Power cable for the camera
  11. Mounting for the camera
  12. Camera

1. intended use

The 3D inlay printer Mike 2 with Upgrade 24/7 is a Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. Its purpose is to print digital 3D models of insoles that are created in the software GP Manager InsoleCAD The process is designed to transform the moulds into physical objects (inserts) by depositing molten thermoplastic material (known as filament) layer by layer.

The printer has been specially designed to work with the filament Addigy® FPU 79AR8 of the company Covestro developed. Although the printer accepts other filaments (brand and/or material type), the use of these filaments does not provide optimal results and in some cases can lead to permanent damage to the machine.

Warning: Using filament that has not been authorised by the manufacturer/sales representative will invalidate the printer's warranty.
