1. Introduction
The STACKER S4 is a high performance industrial grade 3D printer capable of producing
everything from one-off prototypes to multiple part production runs. To get the most out of your
Stacker 3D printer, please read through the entire User Guide before attempting to operate your
printer.
Understand CAD Modeling: It is helpful to be familiar with solid modeling CAD applications in
order to create and manipulate the parts you want to 3D print. Often a simple design modification or
splitting of a model into multiple sections will allow you to print it faster, better, and without the need
for support materials. The following list of CAD apps is by no means exhaustive, but these
programs offer a good balance of power and value, some of which are free and have robust online
training and user communities. Nearly all of these apps will export your models to the preferred STL
file format.
● SketchUp
● Autodesk Meshmixer, Tinkercad
● FreeCAD, openSCAD, Blender
● Autodesk Netfabb, Autodesk Fusion 360, Geomagic Design
● SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Solid Edge
Learn to use a Slicing Engine: In operating a 3D printer, it is most critical that you have a good
understanding of your preferred slicing engine before attempting your own prints. Slicing engines
are used to convert an STL file into the GCODE file which operates the printer. A GCODE file
provides the commands which enable the printer to print a 3D object. Stacker RUN includes two
open source slicing engines, Slic3r and Cura, and both of these slicing engines do a good job.
Nevertheless, we highly recommend Simplify3D. We have found Simplify3D to be one of the best
slicing engines available. We provide a license of Simplify3D with the purchase of a Stacker S4,
so to receive your copy, please contact [email protected].
The links below can help familiarize you with the operation of a slicing engine:

For assistance setting up a profile for your Stacker 3D printer within your slicing software, please
refer to chapter 11.3.
Stacker RUN software is an enhanced version of Repetier Host
customized for using Stacker
printers. Additional information and Stacker RUN software download is available on our website.
Additional documentation can be found on the Repetier website.

If you are interested in controlling your Stacker printer remotely with a cell phone or computer, we
recommend Repetier Server. Through the combination of a Raspberry Pi and Repetier Server,
you are able to operate your printer from any web enabled device. Please contact Stacker, or visit
Stacker’s support page (http://stacker3d.com/stacker-3d-printer-support/) for more information.

1.1 Product Registration
It is important to register your printer with Stacker. In order to receive customer service support,
warranty service, or join our community forums, you must register your printer. Complete the
registration form on our website.

Your Stacker S4 printer has two serial labels. One is serial label is located inside the controller
housing and a second serial label has been attached to the inside of the front right leg.

2. Warnings
Stacker 3D printers are industrial machines that should never be operated around children or left
unattended. Careful setup and training is required for optimal results. Read through this entire User
Guide and view online resources before attempting to use your printer. Please note, this printed
copy of the User Guide may not be the latest version. We recommend downloading the User Guide
from our website to confirm you have the most up to date version.
Please read and take seriously all Warnings below. Unsafe operation of a 3D printer can result
in damage to your printer and serious injury to yourself.
Burn Hazard! Do NOT touch hot surfaces!
Both the hot ends and heated bed can get HOT! To prevent burns, avoid
touching the hot surfaces of the 3D printer.
Fire Hazard!
Never place flammable materials or liquids on or near the printer. It is your
responsibility to operate your printer in a safe manner. To ensure that it is
safe, you must incorporate the use of fire and smoke alarms and proper fire
suppression technologies like fire extinguishers. Never operate the printer
unattended.
Electric Shock Hazard!
The printer must be kept dry. Attempting to operate the printer in a wet
environment will damage your printer and could lead to injury. Always power
down and disconnect the power cable from your printer before servicing or
opening your controller housing.
Static Charge Hazard!
Ground yourself before touching the printer. Static charge can damage your
printer's electronic components. Discharge your static before touching your
printer!
Pinch Hazard! Keep Hands and Fingers Clear.
During operation, the printer will perform quick and sometimes unpredictable
movements. To avoid injury, never place your hands, fingers or body near
any moving parts of the printer including belts, pulleys, print bed, and hot
ends. Be sure to tie back long hair and remove any clothing or jewelry which
could become caught in the moving parts of the printer.
STACKER S4 USER GUIDE 9
Age Warning.
For users under the age of 18, adult supervision is recommended. Small
printed parts can become a choking hazard for small children. Never operate
the printer unattended!

3. Unboxing and Assembly
The Stacker S4 has been shipped in a wooden crate to protect the printer during transit. We
recommend keeping both the crate and packaging materials in case you should ever need to
transport the printer or return it to Stacker for warranty service.
Be very careful when removing printer from the crate -- the printer is HEAVY! Begin by
removing the Phillips screws so you can fully detach the top and one side of the crate. Next,
remove the hardware box and foam from underneath the printer so that the printer’s wheels rest on
the floor of the wooden crate. You may need two other people to assist in lifting the printer when
removing the foam from beneath the printer. Finally, use the side of the crate as a ramp to roll the
printer out from the crate.
