Quickstart

Unbox the Builder Extreme

Please watch the unboxing video which shows how to remove the box and remove the Extreme from the pallet.

Note that the Builder Extreme MUST be removed from the pallet and placed on a concrete stable floor at all times.

See instruction video online.

Level the Extreme

Use the 2 levels supplied with the machine to make sure the machine is levelled before use. Use the level tools on the front, left and right. Note that you do not need to level the print bed or print frame, you need to level the machine itself. Put the levels on the bottom plate of the machine.

The print bed was already levelled in our factory.

Install filaments

Pre heat the extruder. Insert filament in BOTH extruders.

Note that the Dual-Feed extruder needs to be filled with

BOTH filaments all the time, even when you print in 1 color.

This prevents the Dual-Feed extruder from clogging. See instruction video online.

8



Surface test

The build plate was levelled in the factory. But it is important to check if this is still the case after transport and installation. Start printing the surface test from the SD card supplied with the machine. The surface test (0.4 mm nozzle) shows you if the build plate is still levelled. Be aware that the surface test must be printed with 2 filaments!

9



Bedlevel point 1,2 and 3 (if needed)

If the surface test does not come out right, it can mean two things, the nozzle is too far or too close to the glass print bed. That means you need to level the frame on point 1, 2 and 3. Gently turn the screws clockwise when the nozzle is too close to the Glass and turn the screws anti clockwise when the nozzle is too far from the glass. Do this on all 3 points, perform “auto home” and start the surface test again. See online instruction video.

Print with BOTH extruders when not printing Dual colored objects

For the best quality prints and to ensure the lifetime of the

Dual-Feed extruder, we advise you to print with both extruder motors all the time. How? Start your print and as soon as the print started go to control, change extruder ratio and change them to 50%/50%. Now both motors will be used. This also allow you to print 9 kg filament without having to stop your print and changing filaments.

Remove print from glass plate

After the print has finished, open the doors of the Extreme and let the build plate cool down to room temperature. This makes it easier for you to remove the object from the glass plate.

If you have any questions about the installation, please contact your local reseller or [email protected]

Installing the machine

Correct Surface

Be sure to place the Builder extreme on a solid surface and be sure there is more than 1 Meter of space around the machine to perform maintenance.

Installation

Levelling the printer is important for making good quality prints.

Be sure that the Builder extreme is used is a surrounding temperature between 15-32°C

Level the printer

1.

Place the printer on a stable floor and check if the printer is levelled

Level the printer with the included spirit levels. Check, and correct if necessary, all the three directions with the spirit level as shown. Correct the leveling of the machine using a wrench to move up or down the machine feet.

12



Extreme 1500 wheels

Only the extreme 1500 is supplies with a set of wheels for easy transport through doors and in elevators.

Move up the machine feet so the wheels can be mounted under the machine. Lower the machine feet so the wheels are on the ground and the machine can easily be transported to the final location. There the machine can be leveled, so the wheels don’t touch the ground.

Bed leveling

During the fabrication process, the machine’s build plate and bed leveling was adjusted, so the space between the build plate and nozzle is 0.25mm when the machines Z axes is in the “auto home” position.

This 0.25mm is called bed level position.

After transport and installing the machine, it’s important to check this cap of 0.25mm. Go to the customer service menu and select the ‘Three point homing’ option. Check the 3 points for a cap of 0.25mm using the supplied feeler gauge.

If these 3 points are 0.25mm then perform a surface test. If the surface test is ok, the machine is ready to use.

13



The surface test is ok, when the test looks like the pictures beneath and it sticks firmly to the build surface.

Missing lines in the surface test are an indication that the nozzle is too close to the build plate at the point.

The bed level needs adjustment. The nozzle needs to be adjusted more away from the build plate.

When the surface test doesn’t stick to the build plate, or comes loose during printing, the nozzle is too far from the build plate. The bed level needs adjustment. The nozzle needs to be adjusted closer to the build plate.

14



How to adjust the bed level position

The machine uses 3 Z-sensors mounted in the print frame to determine the Z axes home position. These sensors are triggered by adjustable flags in the poles of the machine. 2 flags in the left and right front poles, one flag in the left rear pole.

15



These flags can be adjusted in height so the bed level position can be corrected if necessary.

Looking from the top position:

• Turn clockwise and the nozzle moves away from the build plate

• Turn counterclockwise and the nozzle moves closer to the build plate;

For every complete turn that is done there is a 0.5mm displacement of the nozzle according to the build plate.

If there is an adjustment needed, don’t adjust more than 1/2 a turn at a time.

Adjust the flags on the side of the build plate where the bed level adjustment is needed

After adjusting the flags, always perform “autohome” Then the machine is in his new adjusted position!

16



Dual Printhead

Warning! Be sure that the head is cooled down before maintenance is performed to the head!

For easy maintaining it is possible to remove the print head from the print head frame.

Use the “replace head” option in the “customer” à “service” menu before changing the print head.

Be sure the connectors are aligned in front of each other. Push the print head until the connectors merge into each other.

17



Check if the clips are snapped into place

Make sure when printing with the Dual-Feed both extruder holes are filled with a filament.

Inserting filament

Be sure the print head is pre heated. Push down the button and insert the filament until you feel some resistance. Now insert the second filament by doing the same. Keep pushing the buttons, and then push down the filament until it comes out of the nozzle. Do this with both filaments.

Adjusting the screws in the buttons, using a 2.5mm Allen key, the pressure on the filament by which it’s it pressed against the extruder wheels can be adapted. These are adjusted during the fabrication process, so normally they don’t need adjustment. Turning clockwise increases the pressure, turning anticlockwise will decrease the pressure on the filament.

18



Changing nozzle

Be careful when performing any work on a heated print head!

Preheat the nozzle.

Remove the nozzle using a 17mm wrench or the included tool.

Mount the new nozzle the reverse way of taking it off. Be sure the connected surfaces are clean. Tight the new nozzle, don’t tighten the nozzle too much (7Nm). Check the nozzle for the right torque when it’s pre heated.

19



Nozzle diameters

The nozzles are marked on the top of the nozzle.

0.4 mm 0.8 mm 1.2 mm

When using nozzles 0.8 and 1.2 mm be aware the extrusion speed needs to be very high. To avoid under extrusion tighten the pressure screws in the levers.

First layer height

The first layer height depends on the size of the nozzle. Here are a few examples for the different nozzle sizes:

Nozzle 0.4 mm

Nozzle 0.8 mm

Nozzle 1.2 mm

First layer 0.3 mm

First layer 0.6 mm

First layer 0.8 mm

20



Filament detection

The machine is equipped with filament detection. It detects the moment there is no filament in one of the detection units. The extreme 1000 and 1500 have the detection on top of the machine. The extreme 2000 has the detection in the filament drawer.

When inserting filament in the machine, push the filament through the filament detection unit and insert the filament in the print head. The printer will now detect the filament. If one of the extruders runs out of filament the printer will automatically pause and moves to a pause position where it will wait for the user to enter new filament. Press the button to preheat and change filament. Then push the button to restart the machine.

21



Start Printing

Auto home

When you power up your extreme the machine has to be auto-homed. You can only move the machine when this action is done.

Adhesive layer

For perfect adhesion between your print and the glass build surface be sure that the layer of glue is in perfect state. Check this before the start of every print. The layer of glue has to cover the complete glass build surface. If the layer is not covering the complete build surface, apply a new layer using the supplied paint roller set and the wood glue. Put 1/3 glue and 2/3 water into the paint roller set and give it a good mix. Before applying the glue to the glass surface pre heat the build plate to 50°C, then apply the glue to the glass surface using the paint roller. Apply an even coat and be sure that no glue is coming under the glass build plate!!

Preheat

It can be convenient to pre heat the Extreme Builder when in the mean time doing some preparations before starting the actual printing process. Pre-heating can be done using the user interface.

Timeout Heater

When the machine is not used for 30 minutes, the machine stops heating. The print head stops heating after 30 minutes, the heated bed after 3 hours. After your print is finished, al heaters will stop heating automatically.

22



G-code/slicing

To start printing, the printer needs a G-code file. The G-code can be generated by a so called slicer. We advise to use simplify3D. The possible input file types for slicer software are: STL/OBJ/AMF/DAE files. To generate the correct G-codes for the Builder extreme printers there are printer-profiles that can be downloaded from the Buildere3dprinters.com website. Be sure to use the profile that fits your type of machine, nozzle diameter, materials, etc. When a G-code file has been generated it can be put on an USBstick or send to the machine via Wi-Fi using the builder web portal.

Exclusive gcode command for the Builder dual extruder:

• G93 Rxx: You can adjust the ratio of the 2 extruders in the G-code. Put this code in after the last tool change, before the printing starts, see example below.

When using 1 color/material, always use both extruders 50/50% to prevent clogging the nozzle!

Be sure the build plate is cooled to room temperature before removing a finished object!

We do not recommend to print multiple objects in one print. If failure occurs, all the object will fail and the time that is won by printing multiple object is minimal.

23



UPS function, power fail

The UPS function activates when the main power supply fails.

Detection takes place on / after: Power failure and resumption.

Battery pack needs to be charged. The battery will be charged when the main power switch is on, this is indicated by the led in the front panel.

When the main power is off the battery will not be charged!

Be aware that it takes a few ours to recharge the battery’s when the machine is not used for a couple of days.

1.

Time interval detection "POWERFAIL_DELAY" is set to 10sec.

2.

After about 10 seconds, a "POWERFAIL" popup appears on the screen

3.

The internal buffer is completed.

4.

The print is paused.

5.

The printer goes to Z = Z + 10mm

6.

The position is saved

7.

A power fail restore file is created.

8.

The Home screen status changes to "Powerfail!"

9.

Once the power is restored, the print head a bed will start heating. Once the current temperature > target temperature-3 the print will continue. The print will automatically continue without any user interaction needed.

10.

After the power returns, the printer deletes the powerfail restore file.

11.

If the battery is empty and power has not yet been restored the printer will shut down. Once you reboot and press the print button in the home screen, you get a message: “powerfail has been detected”. You have the option to continue the print in this menu. If you click “cancel”, the restore file is deleted and continuing the failed print is no longer possible.

If the bed is cooled down to <40°C please check if the object is still stuck to the bed!

*Note : When printing from USB the print progress will be saved and after a power shutdown.

The print can be resumed from the user interface. Resuming the print is not possible from the

Builder web portal however!

24



File Data:

The power restore file contains following:

• The name of the file which was being printed.

• The restore file also contains the line(position) of where the print should continue.

• The current values of temperature, ratio, speed, federate, position, fan speed
