spool being fed from the bottom towards the
back of the Dremel 3D20.
End of lament
b. Insert spool lock into spool holder and rotate 90
degrees to lock in place.
5. Thread lament through lament guide tube. The
lament can then be inserted into the extruder
intake (Manual Image 11). This will ensure the
extruder experiences minimal resistance while
building.
Filament guide
6. Place Build Tape over Build Platform.
7. Install the build platform using the build platform
clip to secure.
8. Plug power cord into outlet and turn on Power
Switch (Dremel 3D20 will take approximately
30 seconds to properly warm up).
9. Tap “Tools” on your Dremel 3D20’s touch screen

WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH THE EXTRUDER
TIP DURING DREMEL 3D20
OPERATION OR UNTIL IT HAS COOLED DOWN TO AT
LEAST 60°C (140°F). CONTACT WITH THE EXTRUDER
TIP DURING OR AFTER OPERATION BEFORE TIP
HAS COOLED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
13. Filament will then be drawn into the extruder and
begin to exit from the heated tip at the bottom of
the extruder. After the lament has extruded from
the heated tip, press the return arrow to complete
the loading process. Carefully remove excess
lament without touching the hot extruder tip.
NOTE: Your Dremel 3D20 was tested by building
objects before leaving the factory. These test
objects may have been made with a different
lament colour than you are using. Therefore, a
small amount of lament may be remaining in the
extruder. When loading lament for the rst time
make sure to allow lament to exit the extruder
until your lament colour is consistently visible.
CAUTION: Use extra care to not damage the
extruder tip when clearing debris. Dremel 3D20 will
not work properly with damaged extruder tip and
will require replacement.
14. After lament has been loaded, ensure the extruder
tip is clear of any debris. Carefully remove debris
with needle nose pliers to ensure the extruder tip
is clean.
15. If lament does not get pulled into the extruder or
does not come out of the extruder tip, tap “Cancel”.
Tap “Setup” then tap “Unload Filament”. Once your
Dremel 3D20 alerts you it is ready, gently remove
the lament from the top of the extruder and repeat
the lament installation steps above. Reference
troubleshooting section for further advice.
BUILD PLATFORM PREPARATION
!
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH THE EXTRUDER
TIP DURING DREMEL 3D20
OPERATION OR UNTIL IT HAS COOLED DOWN TO
60°C (140°F). CONTACT WITH THE EXTRUDER TIP
DURING OR AFTER OPERATION BEFORE TIP HAS
COOLED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: Before every build make sure that the build
platform is covered with Dremel specied build tape.
Use of improper build tape may result in equipment
damage and poor object build quality.
LEVELLING BUILD PLATFORM
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
from the extruder head. Make sure to remove any air
bubbles from between the build platform and the build
tape. Not levelling the build platform or eliminating air
bubbles may cause objects to not build properly.
Wait for the extruder head to cool to at least 60C
(140F) before levelling build platform. Extruder
temperature can be monitored on the touch screen.
(See page 11.)
1. Make sure you have placed build tape over the
build platform. Applying build tape to the build
platform after levelling may affect the consistency
of your object.
2. Tap “Tools” on your Dremel 3D20’s touch screen
and tap “Level”. (See page 14.)
3. The extruder and build platform will move into
position to level the build platform. You will rst
level the front left section of the build platform. The
three knobs under build platform are used to raise
or lower the build platform on the left, right, and
rear of the build platform.
4. Place the levelling tool between the extruder and
build platform. If the levelling tool cannot slide
between the extruder and build platform, adjust
the appropriate knob (turning counter clockwise)
until you can slide the levelling tool between the
extruder and build platform with some resistance.
If the levelling tool can slide between the extruder
and build platform too easily, adjust the appropriate
knob (turning clockwise) until you can slide the
levelling tool between the extruder and build
platform with some resistance.
