right to print using the Dremel 3D40. When making

objects using the Dremel 3D40, it is your responsibility

to ensure that you do not infringe any third party

intellectual property rights or violate any applicable

laws or regulations, such as U.S. or foreign intellectual

property laws. The Dremel 3D40 may not be used to

make objects protected by intellectual property rights

owned by third parties without such third parties’

permission. Using the Dremel 3D40 to do any of the

following may require the permission of third parties:

to make a duplicate or facsimile (in whole or in part) of

any object not created by you, to make an object from

a scan of a physical object that you did not create. It is

your responsibility to obtain such permission. In some

cases, you may not be able to obtain such permission.

Where such permission cannot be obtained, you

should not 3D print such object, or you do so at your

own risk. You may not modify, reverse engineer,

decompile, or disassemble the Dremel 3D40 or its

as recommended and described in these Operating/

Safety Instructions, you do so at your own risk. Using

the Dremel 3D40 to make objects that infringe any

intellectual property rights owned by third parties could

result in civil or criminal prosecution and penalties,

WARNING

BEFORE EVERY BUILD MAKE

SURE THAT THE BUILD

PLATFORM IS COVERED WITH DREMEL SPECIFIED

BUILD TAPE. USE OF IMPROPER BUILD TAPE MAY

RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND POOR

OBJECT BUILD QUALITY.

1. If build platform is installed, remove by pinching the

clip located at the front of the build platform and

It is important you level the build platform every time

you replace the build tape or reinstall the build platform

to ensure that the build platform is evenly spaced

bubbles from between the build platform and the build

tape. Not leveling the build platform or eliminating air

bubbles may cause objects to not build properly.

1. Make sure you have placed Build Tape on Build

Platform and no objects are present. Applying Build

Tape after leveling may effect the consistency of

your object.

2. Tap “Level” on 3D40’s touchscreen.

check level at the back center of the build platform.

The two knobs under the build platform are used

to raise and lower the build platform on the left and

the bed is level, no additional tools are necessary.

4. The touchscreen will indicate if your build platform

is too high or too low. If the build platform is too

high, adjust the appropriate knob by rotating

right until you hear a “beep” and the touchscreen

indicates that it is ready to verify that the bed is

level.
