environment that is not moist or too hot. It is recommended that you do not remove the lament spool from its airtight packaging until use.

8. Use object removal tool gently to avoid damaging

the build platform or object.

9. Whenever possible, it is best to locate your object

in the center of the build platform. Using the best orientation for your object is critical. Ensure that your object is located on the build platform and that you are using the best orientation for building.

10. For steep overhangs (Less than 45 degree angle) it

is recommended to build with support.

12. Low speed sanding is recommended to prevent

remelting of the object.

13. The Dremel Digilab 3D Slicer software will display

the length of lament required for each object. Compare this to the length indicated on the spool length gauge.

Deadlines for Submitting Warranty Claims Bosch aims to rectify genuine quality problems as a priority. This is generally achieved by investigating why defective products have failed and by introducing immediate corrective action measures to prevent reoccurring warranty failures. It is therefore critical that all warranty claims are promptly submitted to Bosch as soon as the product fails, and in any event before the end of the warranty period. Packaging Products do not need to be returned with the original packaging to make a warranty claim. Product Liability and Product Safety Bosch should be informed immediately about any potential product safety concerns within and outside the warranty period. Bosch is well aware of its product liability and product safety obligations and responsibilities. It is our aim to ensure appropriate product safety standards are met in order to avoid injury, loss and damage caused by defects in any Products.
