FFF Technology
BCN3D+ is a 3D printer based on fused filament fabrication additive manufacturing technology, consisting in the
deposition of melted material layer by layer based on a previously divided digital model.
The head makes the necessary movements to deposit a layer of material, then a slight vertical movement to continue
with the next layer. The process is repeated until the full object is completed.
The printer is ready to accept any add-on published by RepRapBCN through an easy and guide lined process. One of
its main features is interchangeable extruder heads, either for using multiple heads at the same time or extruders
designed for several other textures and materials.
The filament is lead
to the extruder
Through rotation, the extruder
uses a hobbed bolt to insert the
right amount of filament
The hot filament is extracted through
the extruder with a smaller diamater
The printing surface moves along the X/Y/Z
axes to deposit the material
The material is distributed through
the model when necessary
The heatblock fuses the filament to a
workable temperature

Safety
To avoid possible residual risks for the user , please read carefully the following safety measures.
REPRAPBCN IS EXEMPTED OF ANY LIABILITY IF THE USER DOES NOT FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING HANDLING
INSTRUCTIONS:
• Very important. Like with any other appliance, do not touch the terminals of the cables connected to
the main. The voltage is 230V and there is a risk of electrocution. Other cables from the machine working
at 12V and present no risk.
• This machine produces and emits radio frequencies during use. It is important to install and use
the equipment according to the instructions in this manual to avoid harmful interference to domestic
appliances such as television or radio. If the machine causes interference, increase the separation bet-
ween it and other appliances.
• Print materials are not innocous and may emit toxic fumes. Always print in open or vented spaces.
• Do not breathe closer to 25cm from the extruder head or heads when printing.
• Do not place any object or body part between the moving parts of the machine when
functioning.
• Do not touch its hot parts (hotbed and hotend) when the machine is turned on, or within 15
minutes of operation.
• Do not connect or disconnect any device and/or electrical connector when the machine is on.
• Oversee proper function of the machine during operation.
• In case of an emergency, stop the machine using the STOP button and unplug.

2. SETTING UP YOUR BCN3D+
Unboxing
The BCN3D+ is delivered inside a properly secured cardboard box, measuring 600mm long, 570mm wide and
590mm high. To properly unbox BCN3D+ the following steps must be followed:
1. Remove the packing tape and open the box.
2. Remove the upper cardbox cover. Inside we will find our assembled printer and an accessories box fixed to the
corrugated board.
3. Cut the cables ties fixing the accessories box and remove.
4. Carefully remove the protective cardboard from the sides.
5. Grab the upper frame and lift the printer out of the box.
6. Cut the zip ties attaching the lower cover to the machine.
7. Once out of the box, cut the zip ties holding the axes in place:
• Ties holding the extruder carriage
• Ties holding the hotbed
• Ties holing the Z axis in its upper position
8. Open the accessories box, comprising:
• Hotbed glass
• Power cable
• 3DLAC
• Tools
9. Unwrap the hotbed glass and use the included clamps to fix it onto the hotbed.
10. Plug the printer using the included power cable
11. Remove the toolkit and the fixing spray and leave them close to the machine, we will use them regularly.
12. Fit the supplied spool onto the holder mounted on top of the printer
13. The machine is ready to load the spool filament and the necessary files to print.
