5 Steps to Prepare Your 2Create

1. Wear safety equipment:

  • Put on your mask and gloves before handling any materials.

 

2. Fill the powder reservoir:

 

3. Install the build platform:

  • Place the build platform inside the machine, insert the clamping pin, and tighten it securely.

 

4. Apply the first powder layer:

  • Raise the powder reservoir and spread the initial coating layer evenly.

 

5. Seal and prepare the printing environment:

  • Close the printer door, fill the chamber with inert argon gas (especially important for titanium printing), load your print’s G-code, and start the printing process.
Note: Always wear appropriate safety equipment when working with 3D metal powder. You may remove it only once there is no risk of powder exposure.

By following these five essential steps, you’ll ensure a safe setup and optimal conditions for high-quality metal prints with your 2Create printer.
