Zortrax M200: Start Printing

	1. Equipment Overview



	The Zortrax M200 is enclosed with (3) semi-transparent plastic shields. (not pictured) When opening front shield/door, you can access the internal parts & pieces. When the equipment is in operation, this door should remain closed.

	2. Inspect the Perforated Plate
	WARNING: HEAT HAZARD


	The perforated plate is mounted (with screws) to a heated build plate that attaches magnetically atop the build platform. Before printing, inspect the perforated plate; make sure the plate is free from large debris and leftover material. It is normal to have leftover material embedded within the perforations. If the perforated print platform is sufficient, continue on to the next step below.
