1 DESCRIPTION OF THE HEATING BED
1.1 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The STEPCRAFT Heating Bed consists of a flat sheet metal casing with a heatable glass table is in-
stalled which is adjustable in three points. The glass table can be levelled in height with two adjustment
wheels for it to be perfectly parallel with the print level. The Heating Bed can be connected directly to
the power supply with a wall power supply or via an adapter cable to the 3D Print Head PH-40.
The Heating Bed makes 3D printing much easier and more exact. This way, the difference in tempera-
ture between filament and bed is minimized and provides better adhesion. Additionally, warping (lifting
up of the workpiece`s periphery) is effectively prevented.
1.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE COMPONENTS
1 = Glass print table (heated)
2 = Right and left adjustment wheel
3 = Print table casing and fastening clips
4 = Current input
1.3 INTENDED USE
The STEPCRAFT Heating Bed is only to be used as 3D print base. The system has been especially de-
signed for the assembly and the connection to a STEPCRAFT CNC system.
2 COMMISSIONING /LEVELING
2.1 MOUNTING THE HEATING BED
The Heating Bed can either be fixed on the machine table using the machine`s clamping system or
screwed onto the T-slot table of your STEPCRAFT CNC system with the help of four M6x8 screws.
2.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The Heating Bed can either be connected to the mains with a power supply (19 V, 3 A) or directly to the
3D Print Head PH-40 using the Heating Bed connection cable. The latter has the advantage of a three-
step heating as well as of the automatic on/off switching of the Heating Bed.
2.3 LEVELING THE PRINT TABLE
1. Move the Print Head all the way down using the right and left adjustment wheel (counterclock-
wise).
2. Move the print nozzle to the center back of the Print Table (see picture, point 1). Place a piece
of paper in the area of point 1 and move the Z-axis slowly, step-by-step downwards until the
print nozzle touches the paper. You can easily test this by slightly moving the paper to and fro.
