QUICK START GUIDE

Hello, friend! There’s a learning curve to printing

with Palette+. Please pay attention to the setup

instructions. They include tips and best practices

to get you printing with Palette+ as quickly as

possible and can save you headaches later.

Welcome!

NEVER plug Palette+ into a

computer (USB) while Palette+

is powered on. The only time you

need to connect Palette+ with your

computer is to update firmware.

Don’t touch Palette+’s hot tool

when it’s hot. It hurts!

Palette+ is only compatible with

1.75mm filament.

Do not perform any

maintenance on Palette+’s

internal systems while Palette+

is powered on (or risk electrical

shock or injury, and potentially

damage to Palette+).

In the rare instance that you

hear Palette+’s drives skipping

(or any other unusual clicking

noises), do not force filament

into Palette+. Cancel the print,

unload filament, and unplug

Palette+, then remove the top

cover to check for jams or

blockages.

instructions, please go to:

Critical Warnings

SERIOUSLY, THESE ONES ARE REALLY IMPORTANT

To unload filament from Palette+,

select Utilities > Unload Inputs.

If you must unload filament

manually, pull the filament

slowly (or risk electrical damage to

Palette+).

If your printing environment is

staticky, Palette+’s LCD screen can

occasionally go blank or display

random characters due to static

discharge. If this occurs, simply allow

the print to finish. The static only

affects the screen; the print should

be unaffected.

Never place Palette+ on its

screen. Doing so can damage the

screen.

used on any model to create a layered print.

Best Practices

•Maintenance: Clean your Palette+’s drive gears as needed

(about as often as you clean your printer’s drive gears)

•Ensure filament spools can unspool without too much force

•For optimal performance, use filament from the same

manufacturer – they tend to splice and stick together best!

•Ensure printer and slicer settings are well-tuned for single-

material prints before attempting Palette+ prints
