Product Descriptions Specications The following tools are intended for use under the guidance or guardianship of an adult only. Do not allow children unfamiliar with the tools to have access to them in case of danger.

Make sure the maintenance work of the printer is carried out when the print bed has cooled down.

When printing is completed and the print bed is cooled down to room temperature, the printed object can be removed from the print bed with the scraper.

Filament residues generated during the course of printing may be stuck on the print head and gears of the printing module. The printing quality and printer operation as well as the measurement of the print bed may be affected. When this happens, clean the printing module with the wire brush.

Face the front side of the object to be scanned toward the scan module and it takes about 10-40 minutes to scan it, depending on computer performance and scanning quality. When you scan an object, the turntable rotates clockwise. At this time, the camera on the scan module will capture continuous images at a speed of 30 images per minute. When the scan is completed, “XYZscan Color” will display the 3D image captured in the 3D image.

The object should be stable and stationery. It must not be shaken or moved during the rotation of the turntable.

The object should not be reective, tranparent, or translucent ones.

The object with a reective surface, metal, or transparent material will have an impact on the scanning quallity. If you want to scan an object like this, it is recommended to spray the developer on the surface before scanning it.

If the object has a solid color, or does not have obvious textures or an obvious shape, you may not have the best scan- ning results.
